Cuisine: American
Recipe Source: What's for Dinner?
A Donut Burger with Cheddar & Bacon is a sweet and savory indulgence. A juicy beef patty is grilled to perfection and topped with crispy bacon and melted cheddar cheese. Instead of a traditional bun, it's sandwiched between two halves of a glazed donut. This unexpected combination creates a delightful contrast of textures and flavors, with the sweetness of the donut complementing the savory burger and salty bacon. It's a fun and decadent treat for those who love to experiment with their food.
