Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 8 buns Hamburger buns
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 8 leaves Lettuce (large leaves)
- 2 tomatoes Tomato (large, sliced)
- 1 onion Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 16 slices Pickle slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into burger patties about 3/4-inch thick. Press a slight indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Grill the burger patties on the preheated grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt the cheese.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, just until warmed and slightly crisp.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous spoonful of BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, 2 slices of bacon, a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and 2 pickle slices.
Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy the ultimate All American BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers!
