Take your burger game to the next level with these irresistible All Mixed Up Bacon Cheese Burgers! This easy, flavor-packed recipe combines the smoky goodness of crumbled bacon, the sharp yet creamy bite of shredded cheddar cheese, and the savory depth of garlic and onion powders—all mixed directly into the juicy beef patties. Crafted for perfection, these burgers are grilled or skillet-cooked to deliver a mouthwatering, juicy bite every time. Serve them up on toasted buns with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato slices, and your favorite condiments for a crowd-pleasing meal in just 30 minutes. Perfect for weeknight dinners or summer cookouts, these bacon cheese burgers are anything but ordinary—each bite bursts with bold, cheesy, bacon-infused flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick, making a shallow indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature for fully cooked beef). Avoid pressing down on the burgers with a spatula to retain their juiciness.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a separate skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers by placing one cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato. Add your favorite condiments to the top half of the bun.
Close the burgers and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as fries, chips, or a simple salad. Enjoy!
