How to Make All Mixed Up Bacon Cheese Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb lean ground beef, 1 lb lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup cooked crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (or BBQ sauce), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese to allow it to melt.
- Serve immediately on your favorite buns with your choice of toppings.
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!
