cheeseburger (with bacon)
It’s raining and the BBQ plans have been thwarted yet again. :(
While the boys stare longingly at the grill waiting for the rain to stop I decided that at least the dogs could enjoy some cheese burgers, even if we couldn’t, and enjoy these treats they did.
cheeseburger with bacon dog treat recipe

Notes
Did someone say 'Bacon up that Cheeseburger?'
Okay maybe it was me looking for an excuse to make bacon, but who doesn't love a good bacon cheeseburger?
Just add three slices of cooked and crumbled bacon to the recipe for bacon cheese burger treats.

We have yet to make our own dog treats, but I think this recipe might have to be our first!
Oh my gosh. When I thought it couldn’t get any better, you added bacon. My little man is at the vet today. I think he needs bacon cheeseburger treats to make it all good again.
Thank you so much for sharing! Good luck with the human BBQ.
Just baked a double batch and my bassett hounds believe it is Christmas!!! They love these treats. Two questions though. Do they need to be refrigerated since they contain hamburger meat? Is there a simple way to alter the recipe without using hamburger to make them less pricey? I know I can get the beef flavor by adding boullion cubes to the water, but what about making up for the consistency of the dough. Thanks for a great recipe!!
