Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 pieces Bacon strips
- 8 pieces Frozen onion rings
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Pickles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven according to the package instructions for the frozen onion rings. Bake the onion rings as directed, then set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Cook the burger patties for about 4–5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for extra texture and flavor.
To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese.
Top the patty with 2 crispy bacon strips, 2 baked onion rings, and a pickle slice (if using). Spread additional barbecue sauce on the top bun and place it over the assembled burger.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy!
