I will alert the recipes team. In the meantime, pay attention to step 2 which references half the cheese.
How many do I have for my tea?
Many thanks
If you need this meal to feed two people, then divide however many burger patties you made by 2 to get a serving.
If you need enough food for two meals, choose 2 servings.
In this recipe, (for 4 portions) you call for "150g cooked bacon, crumbled". Am I to take that at face value, and weigh out 150 of cooked bacon, then crumble it? Or might this recipe better read "150g of bacon, cooked then crumbled?" Based on what I have learned is the size of 150g of raw bacon that has then been cooked, that would seem to be a more appropriate amount of bacon to split between 4 cheeseburgers.
Thanks again for an excellent site!
This would be pre-cooked weight. 1 slice of thick cut bacon is approximately 15 grams, so that's definitely plenty of bacon.
You may find this helpful. Chopped is small squares.

That may well vary by brand. For most brands, a slice of thick cut bacon is more like 15 grams by weight. Here's an example with on common brand.

Yes, though you may wish to add more fat when mixing the burgers as chicken is much lower fat.
