How to Make 8 For 8 Broiled Blt Burgers For A Bunch

  1. Prepare the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. Divide 2 pounds of ground beef into 8 equal portions (approximately ¼ pound each).
  3. Gently form each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
  4. Season both sides of the patties generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside and crumble.
  6. Place the burger patties on the preheated grill or broiler rack. Broil for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
  7. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese. Allow the cheese to melt.
  8. While the burgers cook, toast the buns lightly.
  9. Assemble the burgers: spread mayonnaise (optional) on the bottom bun, add a burger patty, bacon crumbles, lettuce, tomato slices, and top with the other bun.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
