How to Make Bbq Bacon Cheeseburgers
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon and place on paper towels; reserve bacon grease.
- While bacon cooks, thinly slice the onion. Set aside.
- Butter the burger buns and set aside.
- Gently shape ground beef into 4 equal patties (about 3/4 inch thick).
- Pour off excess bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add ground beef patties and cook to desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and allow to melt.
- In a separate small skillet, lightly toast the buns for about 30 seconds per side.
- In the skillet used for the bacon (after removing excess grease), add 1 tablespoon of the reserved bacon grease. Add the sliced onions and burger seasoning. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in BBQ sauce and cook for 1 minute, until heated through.
- Place cooked patties on the bottom buns. Top with bacon, then the BBQ onion mixture, and finally the top buns.
- Serve immediately.
