Sandwich Week: Baconator Burger {Copycat}


Back in high school, I used to eat fast food all the time because of marching band, but since getting married and having a family, fast food is rarely something we eat [or sit down restaurants either]. We do get fast food on our long 16-hour road trip to and from New York & Tennessee. But my body has since adapted to NO fast food and every time we eat it - my stomach is in knots.

I've been really big into making copycat recipes lately and this one definitely takes the cake! My favorite fast food places are Wendy's and BK - and I always get either a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger or Baconator any time I go. My husband claimed witchcraft when he ate it - asking how I managed to make it taste like Wendy's!
