Tips

  • Prep your patties: Use a meat grinder to create a uniform texture and ensure even cooking. Season the patties liberally with salt and pepper, and consider adding additional herbs or spices for extra flavor. For a juicy burger, aim for an 80/20 ground beef ratio.
  • Shape and cook your patties: Form the seasoned ground beef into evenly sized patties, creating a slight indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing up during cooking. Cook the patties over medium heat to achieve a medium-rare doneness, or adjust the cooking time for your desired level of doneness.
  • Toast your buns: Place the burger buns cut-side up on a hot griddle or skillet. Brush them with melted butter or olive oil and toast until golden brown. This step adds a delightful crunch and flavor to your burger.
  • Build your burger: Layer the toasted bun with your cooked patty, a generous helping of melted cheese, crispy bacon, and your favorite toppings. Consider adding lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, or any other desired condiments to create a personalized and flavorful burger.
  • Serve immediately: Enjoy your cheesy bacon burger while it's hot and juicy. Pair it with a side of fries, onion rings, or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
