Bacon Cheeseburgers

Cheeseburgers

For these bacon cheeseburgers, the bacon is crumbled and cooked inside the burger. The result is a moist and juicy bacon cheeseburger.

Ingredients:

  • 3 slices pre-cooked bacon
  • 1-1/2 pounds 80%-85% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. canola oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:

  1. Re-heat bacon according to package directions. Drain and crumble into a large mixing bowl.

  2. Prepare grill or heat a grill pan on the stove over medium heat.

  3. Add ground beef, garlic powder and black pepper to the crumbled bacon.

  4. Using your hands, mix gently, and form into 6 patties, being careful not to press or pack the beef down too much (you will lose moisture that way).

  5. Sprinkle the salt over the patties on both sides.

  6. Dip a paper towel in the oil, and rub on the grill or grill pan. Add the patties, being careful not to crowd the pan.

  7. Cook 3-4 minutes. Flip. Top each burger with shredded cheese. Cook another 3-4 minutes until burgers are cooked through.
Serve on toasted buns.
