This Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet was AH-MAZING! You heard me! No burger patty molding for me tonight – just throw everything into the skillet and simmer for a bit. Serve open-faced over a bed of lettuce or in a pita pocket. I had already used my yellows for the day, and having this over lettuce was delicious, crisp and fresh! I loved it! Basili loved his in the pita pocket – the boys both ate theirs sans bun. Noah pretty much destroyed his plate and Zach is in the picky preschooler stage but still managed to eat all of it (except for the tomatoes – HA!!!)
I used turkey bacon and next time I make this, I will cook them BEFORE browning the meat so the slices get more crispy! We love a good burger at our house and I thought bacon sounded pretty darn good – a change up from the usual menu, for sure! So, voila! Dinner is served. I am loving these one skillet meals – easy on the clean up and REALLY simple to make! I served these with some baked Parmesan Zucchini sticks – delicious! This would also pair nicely with some sweet potato ‘fries’. 🙂
Enjoy!

Looks good. What’s the serving size?
Thanks BethAnn! The serving size is 1/4 of the skillet! 🙂 Enjoy!
Very tasty. I used fire-roasted tomatoes and did not drain – didn’t want to lose the flavor. Also used a Mexican blend finely shredded cheese.
Sounds delicious! 🙂
Trying this tonight!!
Great! What did you think!? 🙂
Having this for the second time! The hubby and I like it. The kids weren’t impressed, but ate it… 🙁
What is the calorie count on this dish? Made it tonight and both my teenage son and I loved it!!
I am so happy you enjoyed it! I don’t currently have a nutrition breakdown for my recipes. Since I follow the container system, I just count the containers. 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
This. Was. De. Li. Cious!!! Best healthy “hamburger” I’ve had. I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I think my family is still too attached to the traditional bacon cheeseburger to really appreciate this. But It was so good. Honestly can’t believe I can eat it on the 21 Day Fix diet. Thank you thank you thank you!
I love hearing this! 🙂 Thank you for telling me! So happy you enjoyed it!
What is the serving size for 21 day fix?
Hi Jordan! It would be 1/4 of the skillet. Enjoy! 🙂
This was SO GOOD. My 14 year old wanted thirds!!!! I had mine in lettuce wraps and my boys had them in whole wheat buns. My teenager asked me to make it again tomorrow.
That’s awesome Lauren – MOM FOR THE WIN!
Is that the container count with the pita?
No – you would add 1 yellow if you do the optional pita pocket. 🙂
What brand Worcestershire sauce do you use? Is there a clean one? We tried it tonight and it was delish!
I use the Lea and Perrins – it may not be 100% clean, but it had the least amount of ingredients…I need to find a ‘clean’ one! 🙂 Anyone have a suggestion?
Made this tonight! Everyone in my house loved it! DELICIOUS!
So happy to hear everyone enjoyed it! 🙂
HI! I cannot wait to try this! I am not on the 21 day fix diet but in general is this considered pretty healthy? Also, do you think this would still taste good with ground turkey?? Thanks so much!
Enjoy! Yes – I think it would be fantastic with turkey! 🙂
This is so delicious. I am not on the 21 day fix diet, but I am trying to eat healthy while still having delicious food. I love how fast and easy this recipe is, while being super yummy. I’ve made it twice, and have to say I like it best as a lettuce wrap. So tasty! Thank you so much for sharing this!
You’re welcome! 🙂 Healthy AND delicious is always a winning combination!
