How to Make Bbq Bacon Cheeseburger
- On a sheet of wax paper, gently form the ground beef into a tight 4-inch patty.
- Lightly salt both sides of the patty.
- Place the patty in the freezer for 5 minutes to help it hold its shape during grilling.
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- While the grill is heating, cook the bacon until crispy. This can be done in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave.
- Remove the bacon and drain it on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Place the chilled beef patty on the hot grill. Cook to your desired doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium).
- Toast the hamburger bun on the grill rack for 30-60 seconds per side, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Add a slice of cheese to the top of the burger a few seconds before removing it from the grill, allowing it to melt.
- Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom bun. Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun, followed by the crispy bacon.
- Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
