Cheeseburger Bread Boat
This cheeseburger bread boat recipe is perfect for tailgating or for a gameday appetizer. And just in time for playoff baseball as well! Even better, they are super quick and easy to make. Plus they don’t get your fingers all messy!
These are a riff on the sausage bread boats that were super popular to make recently. And it’s easy to see why. They only need a handful of ingredients and cook up very quickly. They can be cooked indoors or outdoors as well.
Equipment Needed
You won’t need anything fancy for this recipe. A grill or griddle and a nice spatula are all you will need. I cooked these on my Weber griddle, which I highly recommend if you don’t have a flattop.
Tips For Getting The Best Cheeseburger Bread Boat
Here’s a few tips to get the most out of this recipe.
- Preheat the cooking surface – make sure you give plenty of time to preheat your griddle or grill. We want that meat to sizzle!
- Season the ground beef – A good sprinkle of salt and pepper is all you need. And don’t forget it!
- Don’t over-cheese it! – The cheese is supposed to highlight the dish and not become a goopy mess.
- Careful flipping – The cheese does act like a glue but still be careful when flipping over the bread boats on the grill.
- Make that burger sauce! – The sauce is really what makes this recipe awesome. You could just use ketchup but you would be missing out.
