BACON-STUFFED BURGERS



Bacon-Stuffed Burgers image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 pound ground beef chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for brushing the grill pan
4 large sweet Hawaiian buns, such as King's Hawaiian, split

Steps:

  • Combine the cheese and bacon in a bowl.
  • Put the ground chuck in another bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper; mix with a rubber spatula. Flatten a quarter of the meat mixture in the palm of your hand. Squeeze together about a tablespoon of the cheese and bacon mixture to make a little nugget; place in the center of the patty. Bring up the sides of the patty over the filling, making sure the cheese is completely covered; flatten slightly to shape. Repeat with the remaining meat and filling. Set the patties side-by-side on a platter and refrigerate while preparing the grill.
  • Place a large grill pan covering two burners over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor barbecue until very hot. Brush the grates with oil. Grill the burgers for 8 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a clean plate.
  • Rub the grill grates with more oil. Grill the buns cut-side down for 1 minute to toast.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite condiments and garnishes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of bacon: Look for thick-cut bacon that is well-marbled. This will give your burgers a smoky, crispy flavor.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help to render out the fat and make the bacon more flavorful.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: A sharp cheddar or blue cheese will add a lot of flavor to your burgers.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: Burgers are best when they are cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for bacon burgers. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Bacon burgers are a classic American dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best bacon burgers that you have ever tasted. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
