Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp barbecue sauce
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a large cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the size of the buns. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Slice the yellow onion into thick rings. Drizzle olive oil over the rings and toss to coat.
Place the onion rings and bacon slices on the grill or skillet. Cook the bacon until crispy and onions until charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your preferred level of doneness. During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty, allowing it to melt.
While the burgers cook, slice the tomato into rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the hamburger buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes, until golden.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce, a grilled burger patty with melted cheese, a slice of crispy bacon, a few charred onion rings, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your smoky, flavorful Bonfire Burgers!
