Behold! Fried Cheeseburger Dumplings Over an Open Fire

Crispy, juicy, and wildly indulgent—fried cheeseburger dumplings are the comfort food mashup you didn’t know you needed (until now).

When I ask myself what I want for dinner, two things immediately jump to mind: cheeseburgers and dumplings. If my arteries were on board, I could live on nothing but gooey burgers and crispy dumplings for the rest of my days. But combine the two in one bite? That’s the kind of culinary wizardry I never dared dream of. And yet… it exists. Fried. Cheeseburger. Dumplings. And they’re cooked over an open fire, no less.

This is not a drill.

Sure, the video below shows that you could make these beauties indoors. But why would you, when you could lean into the full campfire fantasy and cook them over flames like a burger-loving woodland creature with access to ground beef and cheese? (Although I wouldn’t say no to recreating it in a grand fireplace like the ones in old black-and-white films. Same vibes.)

Check out the video below and learn how to make the crispy, juicy, absolutely bonkers Fried Cheeseburger Dumplings yourself. You’re welcome:
