Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 6 ounces Cheddar cheese (block, not shredded)
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce (optional)
- 4 Tomato slices (optional)
- 4 slices Pickles (optional)
- to taste Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the beef.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the block of cheddar cheese into four rectangular chunks, approximately 1-inch long and 1/2-inch thick.
Place one chunk of cheese in the center of a beef patty. Fold the edges of the patty around the cheese, encasing it completely, and reshape into a burger. Repeat for all four patties.
Wrap each burger with two slices of bacon, ensuring the bacon overlaps slightly. Secure each slice with a toothpick to hold it in place.
Place the bacon-wrapped burgers on the preheated grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip each burger using a grill spatula and cook for another 6–7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (check with a meat thermometer).
Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for 3–4 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes until lightly crispy.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheddar-stuffed bacon-wrapped burger, tomato slice, pickle, and any desired condiments.
Serve immediately and enjoy your grilled bacon-wrapped cheddar burgers!
