THE BEST BACON CHEESEBURGER



The Best Bacon Cheeseburger image

While we love a grilled burger, this one is our go-to for all seasons. Instead of making a typical patty, we smash the meat in a super-hot cast-iron pan to get crispy, ruffled edges. Once you smash your burgers this way, you'll never go back! We top them with all the fixings, including our perfectly balanced special sauce. It's what we consider an iconic burger.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
8 slices thick-cut bacon
4 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
2 pounds ground beef (80-percent lean)
Kosher salt
4 thin slices sharp white Cheddar
4 thin slices red onion
8 thin slices tomato
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
  • Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

INSIDE-OUT BACON CHEDDAR BURGER



Inside-Out Bacon Cheddar Burger image

Ah, the juicy burgers of summer cookouts! They taste so good -- but are so often huge fat and calorie bombs. The sad truth is that most homemade burgers have well over 800 calories. But it is possible to pack all that savory meaty flavor, oozing melting cheese and even bacon into a big, satisfying burger without blowing your dietary allotment for the entire day.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
2 tablespoons ketchup
3 slices center-cut bacon
1 1/2 pounds 93 percent lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces shredded reduced-fat sharp Cheddar
4 potato rolls or hamburger buns
4 small lettuce leaves
Four 1/2-inch thick tomato slices
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for cooking over medium heat.
  • Combine the mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat; add the bacon and cook, turning once, until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate covered with a paper towel and drain; chop.
  • Gently combine the beef, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a bowl. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and form each into a 3 1/2-inch-diameter patty; put 4 patties on a work surface. Toss the bacon with the cheese and spoon a quarter of the mixture on top of each of the 4 patties, keeping the edges clear. Place the remaining patties over the cheese and pinch the perimeter to seal the filling in.
  • Grill the patties with the lid closed, turning once, 9 to 10 minutes for medium doneness. To assemble, put the bottom half of each roll on a plate and top with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice and patty. Spoon the mayonnaise mixture over the patties, then top with the onion slices and the remaining roll halves. Serve immediately.
