How To Make redneck turtle burgers

• 
  Step 1
  Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
• 
  Step 2
  Make four good-sized hamburger patties, nice and round and thick. Top w/ single slice of sharp cheddar cheese (this is optional, if you don't want cheese).
• 
  Step 3
  Wrap each beef pattie in bacon strips, making a basket weave as you go. Cover entire pattie.
• 
  Step 4
  Next, take the hot dog halves and make turtles' legs, head and tail. Cut the one for the tail at a diagonal on the end, so the tail looks "pointed". In the legs, put a few tiny 'slits' in the ends, so they will look like feet w/ claws after they bake.
• 
  Step 5
  Line a baking sheet (with sides on it!) with foil, and place a baking rack over the foil. Arrange your "turtles" on the baking rack.
• 
  Step 6
  Cook for 30 - 40 mins., in your pre-heated oven. A little crispy, not too crunchy ... just the way a turtle ought to be, right?
