How to Make All American Bbq Bacon Cheeseburgers
- Prepare your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
- Form the beef mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
- Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with 1 slice of cheddar cheese and let it melt.
- While the patties cook, cook the bacon until crispy. Set aside.
- Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
- Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom bun.
- Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun, top with bacon, and add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and onion.
- Add the top bun and serve immediately.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
