Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 4 slices Colby cheese slices
- 8 strips Bacon strips
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 8 pieces Pickle slices
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a 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 them into patties about ¾-inch thick. Make a small depression in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent swelling during cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Lightly oil the grill or grill pan with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of Colby cheese on each patty to melt. Optionally, toast the inside of the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the top half.
Layer a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and two pickle slices on the bottom bun. Place the cooked burger patty with melted Colby cheese on top, followed by two strips of crispy bacon.
Close the sandwich with the top bun. Secure the burger with a toothpick if needed and serve immediately.
Enjoy your Colby Bacon Hamburgers with your favorite side dishes like fries, chips, or a fresh salad!
