Delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe - Perfect for Grilling

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for best flavor)
  • 4 slices bacon (crispy cooked)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 4 buns burger buns (toasted if desired)
  • 1 cup lettuce (shredded)
  • 1 tomato sliced (fresh)
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup (or to taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Bacon

    Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

    Cook bacon slowly to render fat for better crispiness.
  2. Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

    Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
  3. Grill the Patties

    Cook the patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.

    Add cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  4. Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

    Toasting adds flavor and prevents sogginess.
  5. Assemble the Burgers

    Place each patty on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and ketchup.

    Layer ingredients for a balanced flavor in every bite.
