How to Make Maple Glazed Bacon Cheeseburger Poutine
Step 1: Cook the Fries
Prepare your crispy fries according to package instructions or make homemade fries for extra crunch.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
In a pan over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy. Remove and let it drain on a paper towel. Once cooled, chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Sauté the Beef & Onions
Using the same pan (hello, bacon-infused flavor!), add olive oil, sliced onions, and ground beef. Sauté until the onions are soft and the beef is browned. Season with garlic powder and black pepper.
Step 4: Make the Maple Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Simmer over low heat until it thickens slightly. This savory maple bacon gravy will coat everything beautifully!
Step 5: Assemble the Poutine
- Place your crispy fries on a serving platter.
- Sprinkle over the cheese curds (or mozzarella).
- Add the browned beef and onions.
- Scatter the crispy maple-glazed bacon on top.
- Drizzle with the warm maple glaze for the ultimate finishing touch.
Step 6: Enjoy!
Dig in while the cheese is melty, the bacon is crispy, and the maple glaze is sticky-sweet perfection.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
- Crispy Fries Are Key – If making homemade fries, soak the cut potatoes in water for 30 minutes before frying for max crispiness.
- Don’t Overcook the Cheese Curds – Add them just before serving so they stay soft, not fully melted.
- Go Heavy on the Maple Glaze – Trust me, it makes the dish next-level indulgent.

Reheating
- Oven: Reheat at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to crisp up the fries.

- Microwave: Not ideal, but if needed, heat in 30-second bursts.
FAQs
1. Can I make this poutine vegetarian?
Yes! Swap the ground beef for a plant-based meat alternative or even sautéed mushrooms for a meaty texture.
2. What cheese can I use instead of cheese curds?
If you can’t find cheese curds, shredded mozzarella is a great alternative! It melts beautifully.
3. Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
Absolutely! Turkey bacon works well, though it’s a bit leaner—so it won’t be as crispy.
4. How can I make this extra indulgent?
Add a fried egg on top, drizzle with truffle oil, or even add a layer of caramelized onions for more richness!
