Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning click link for the recipe
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 lices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- ½ cup Fried onion strings
Instructions
- If you don’t already have cooked bacon, start by cooking slices of bacon on the stove, or in the oven. Follow this link for my step-by-step guide on how to cook bacon in the oven. While the bacon is cooking, you can go ahead and prepare the burgers.
- Combine the ground beef, hamburger seasoning and worcestershire sauce in a large bowl. Divide the mixture into four burger patties, about ½ inch thick.
- Preheat an outdoor grill, or grill pan on the stove, over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties, then cook for 5 minutes per side.
- During the last minute of cooking time, top each of the patties with a slice of cheese. Once the cheese has melted, remove the burgers from the grill and set them aside to rest on a cutting board.
- Place the buns on the grill, or in the hot skillet, and toast.
- Remove the buns from the grill, top with the a leaf of lettuce, slice of tomato, cooked strips of bacon (broken in half), then the cheeseburger patties. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of bbq sauce on top of each burger patty. Top with 2 tablespoons of onion strings, then add the top burger buns. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to replace the onion strings with cooked frozen onion rings, caramelized onions, or raw sliced onions.
- You can cook the bacon up to 5 days in advance and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to make the burgers. This makes it easy to prepare and cook the burgers in just 15 minutes!
- Do not immediately place the burgers on the buns after removing them from the grill! This is a common mistake people make when preparing burgers. It’s one that I did for years. By placing the toasted buns and grilled burgers on separate plates, you allow the juices to redistribute throughout the burgers and not just soak right into the buns. I recommend waiting 5 minutes before assembling the burgers. Just like you rest a steak, resting burgers makes them more juicy and flavorful! And this process prevents your buns from getting soggy. It’s a win-win!
- Cooking a one inch thick burger for 4-5 minutes per side over medium high heat will result in a medium burger. If you’d like your burger medium-well, add 1 minute per side. If you’d like well-done burgers, cook them for 6-7 minutes per side.
- This recipe can be made on the stove. No grill? No problem! Simply cook the burgers on a grill pan, cast iron skillet, or the heaviest skillet you have available. Place the skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat and cook for the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side. Add sliced cheese on top during the last minute of cook time.
