Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe
Ingredients
For the Burger Patties:
1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp butter or oil (for cooking)
For the Toppings:
4 slices of cheddar cheese
4 strips of crispy bacon
1/4 cup caramelized onions (optional)
Dill pickle slices
Lettuce (optional)
Tomato slices (optional)
For the Buns:
2 brioche burger buns, lightly toasted
1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
For the Sauce (optional):
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp ketchup
1/2 tsp mustard
Dash of hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 2: Form and Cook the Patties
Divide the ground beef into two equal portions. Form into patties about 1/2 inch thick and slightly larger than the buns (they’ll shrink when cooking).
Season both sides of the patties generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust to your preference.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
Step 3: Toast the Buns
Spread butter on the cut sides of the brioche buns.
Toast the buns in the skillet until golden brown.
Step 4: Assemble the Burger
Spread the sauce (if using) on the bottom bun.
Add pickles, lettuce, and tomato slices.
Place the cheesy burger patty on top.
Add caramelized onions and crispy bacon strips.
Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
