Coonass Turtle Burgers
Lean ground beef for as many burgers as you need
Seasonings to personal taste
Beef hot dogs
Sharp cheddar cheese (sliced nice & thick)
Lots of thick smoked bacon
Deli burger buns
Make your patties, including seasoning. Top each patti with a thick covering of sharp cheddar (you can also add or use Swiss). Securely wrap patties with the bacon weave as shown in picture below. Add hot dogs for the heads and legs, and make slits for the toes and tail.
Place burger turtles on an oven rack or BBQ grill. Cover loosely with foil. Bake for about 30 minutes near 400 degrees for a nice crispy finish.
Serve and watch your guests smile as they "dress" their own turtles!!

These would be far too pretty to actually eat!
At first I was worried as there've been some Cajun shindigs (back in my OLLLLDD days) where real turtle was served!
Very clever!

Literally that is all I can think in my head at this moment. I can't decide if that's the most clever thing I've ever seen or the most disgusting...... (I'm a northern girl and all..... )

Holy damn, woman! I can feel my arteries snapping shut just looking at those things. Even so, I am going to make some. They are just too decadent for a reprobate like me to pass up on.
LOVE these. I will make them and think of you. :)
Angie, these are so freakin' cute! If I ate meat, they'd be on my plate today. Hmm... I bet I could come up with a meatless version. :)
Haha Lori, I think the only think more frightening to bite into than a coonass turtle burger would be a VEGGIE coonass turtle burger!
My husband would probably LOOOOOOVE these.

Camp food at its finest. Will try this. Sorry for being missing. Really weird summer and season started last week. Kiddos, sweat, rain and food. Oh yeah, racing too.
