Provided by Chef Iron B

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces pizza dough, Pillsbury tube
4 tablespoons mustard
1/2 cup bacon, chopped
1 cup hamburger, browned
1/2 cup dill pickle, chopped
3 cups pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup white onion, chopped

Steps:

  • Chop the dill pickle and onion then set the pieces on a paper towel to dry.
  • Prepare a small amount of ground hamburger and dice it up to small pieces.
  • Cook bacon and cut it up in to small pieces as well. I usually plan for this meal ahead of time and brown the ground beef a day earlier with a different meal. I save bacon from breakfast and it allows me less cooking when I make this pizza.
  • Follow the directions on the tube of raw pizza dough as far as the prep of the dough.
  • Once the dough is ready to topped apply a thin layer of mustard all over the dough except for the edges.
  • Sprinkle your bacon over the entire pizza followed by the onions and then the hamburger.
  • Cover the pizza with cheese and sprinkle a few pickles on the top.
  • Bake at the time a temperature as instructed on the pizza dough tube. It tastes great!
  • It sounds weird because you may not have ever put pickles or mustard on your pizza but it tastes just like a bacon cheeseburger. It's something different and I enjoy it a lot.

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy bacon, cook it over medium heat until it reaches your desired texture.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ground beef for the best flavor.
  • Season the beef patties generously with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Cook the beef patties over medium heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Toast the buns in a pan with butter for a richer flavor.
  • Use a variety of toppings to customize your cheeseburger, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and your favorite cheese.
  • Serve the cheeseburger immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, onion rings, or a salad.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the bacon cheeseburger is a classic American dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple yet delicious ingredients, it's no wonder that it's a favorite among burger lovers. Whether you're making it at home or ordering it from a restaurant, there are many ways to customize your cheeseburger to suit your taste.
