Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground chuck
1 lb ground round
2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoons garlic salt
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely shredded
1 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 medium vidalia onions, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces sweet barbecue sauce (your choice)
6 -8 hamburger buns
8 ounces lettuce (optional)
8 ounces tomatoes (optional)
1/2 cup onion

Steps:

  • Combine ground round, ground chuck, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • In another bowl, combine the coarsely shredded sharp cheddar and cooked bacon pieces.
  • Let bacon and cheese mixture sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to get soft.
  • Then, shape mixture into balls (for however many burgers you would like to make). Form 2 patties of meat and place one cheese/bacon ball in between them.
  • Pinch the sides together to seal in cheese ball. Gently press formed patty, to spread out cheese ball. Continue until all patties are formed.
  • Cook burgers on grill over medium flame for about 7 minutes on each side.
  • While burgers are grilling, slice sweet Vidalia onions and sauté them in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter. Once onions become translucent (about 4 minutes), add some sweet barbecue sauce.
  • Flip burgers, and baste the cooked side of the patties with the same sweet barbecue sauce used in the onions.
  • After about 7 minutes longer, the burger should be done (these are big thick burgers and may take longer to grill to your liking).
  • Baste again with sweet barbecue sauce before removing from grill.
  • Butter hamburger buns and place on top rack of grill for several minutes, until toasted.
  • To build burger, take toasted bun, add patty, and top with smothered barbecue onions. You can add tomato or lettuce, if you'd like, but the flavors are great without them.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the burger will be. Look for fresh, flavorful beef, thick-cut bacon, and a variety of toppings that you love.
  • Cook the burgers to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your liking. For a medium-rare burger, cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side. For a medium burger, cook for 5-6 minutes per side. For a well-done burger, cook for 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. When cooking burgers, it's important to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the grill, the burgers will steam instead of grill, resulting in a soggy burger.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving. After cooking the burgers, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the patty, resulting in a more flavorful burger.

Conclusion:

The BBQ Bacon Burger is the ultimate summer grilling recipe. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to please everyone at your next cookout. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
