    Bacon Cheeseburger Braid

    This bacon cheeseburger braid is a great busy night dinner, and it's very kid-friendly.

    It's easy to throw together, and this is a great recipe to let the kids help with.

    The braiding step is especially fun for the little ones to assist with.

    It also looks pretty fancy once it's all done. Most importantly, it tastes so good!

      I make this with ground turkey. I make it with what I have, and I like that I can change it to fit what we have.
