Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 6–8 strips of bacon

Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Produce and Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sliced pickles, to taste

Condiments and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Shells

  • 8 taco shells or small tortillas (soft or crunchy)

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Fry the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until they reach your preferred crunchiness, then transfer them to paper towels to drain excess grease.
  2. Prepare the beef filling: In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and garlic with a bit of reserved bacon grease for added flavor. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, then break it up into crumbles and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Add condiments: Stir ketchup and mustard into the cooked beef mixture to replicate that classic cheeseburger tang, mixing thoroughly to combine all flavors.
  4. Assemble the tacos: Warm the taco shells or tortillas. Fill each shell with a generous scoop of the beef mixture, crumbled bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced pickles.
  5. Serve immediately: Enjoy your Loaded Bacon Cheeseburger Tacos fresh with optional garnishes or dipping sauces on the side.

Notes

  • Use quality ground beef with some fat content for juicy, flavorful filling.
  • Be generous with bacon for maximum smoky crunch.
  • Warm taco shells before filling to enhance texture and prevent cracking.
  • Add shredded cheese immediately after filling for perfect melting.
  • Add fresh toppings like pickles last to keep them crisp.
