Bacon Cheeseburger

Preparation

Beef Patties

  1. Preheat convection oven to 350° F.
  2. Place frozen beef patties on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Do not overlap or stack patties. Shingle (stand on edge) 48-50 patties in steam table pan. Pour one cup water into steam table pan. Cover with plastic wrap.
  3. In a preheated convection oven, heat at 350° F for 7-9 minutes.

 

Turkey Bacon

  1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon slices on baking sheet in a single layer.
  2. Place the pan on the center rack of the oven, heat for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds.
