How to Make Bacon Wrapped Cheeseburgers
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Crumble the ground beef into the mixture and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough burgers.
- Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Wrap each patty with 2-3 slices of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
- Place the bacon-wrapped patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with 1 slice of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, etc.).
- Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions.
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.
