Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 4 ounces Cheddar cheese (sharp, shredded or cubed)
- 8 slices Bacon (thick-cut)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce (optional)
- 4 Tomato slices (optional)
- 8 slices Pickles (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Ketchup (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine without overworking the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a thin, flat patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Place 1 ounce of cheddar cheese in the center of each patty. Fold the edges of the patty inward to fully enclose the cheese, then gently reshape the patty, ensuring there are no gaps where cheese could leak out during cooking.
Wrap each patty with 2 slices of bacon, forming a cross pattern. Make sure the ends of the bacon slices are tucked under the patties or secured with toothpicks to keep them in place.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium heat (about 375°F). If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the bacon-wrapped patties on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 160°F (70°C). Keep an eye on the bacon to ensure it crisps up without burning.
Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your favorite condiments such as mayonnaise or ketchup.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Cheddar Bacon Wrapped Hamburgers!
