Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomato
- 4 rings thinly sliced red onion
- 8 slices pickle slices
- 0.25 cups barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, about 1 inch thick.
Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Grill the burger patties on one side for 4-5 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce on the bottom half of the bun.
Place a lettuce leaf, a burger patty with melted cheese, 2 strips of bacon, a slice of tomato, 1 red onion ring, and 2 pickle slices on the bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the burgers immediately with your choice of sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a salad.
