BACON CHEESEBURGERS



Bacon Cheeseburgers image

This perfect recipe for bacon cheeseburgers is courtesy of Joey Campanaro.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes     Ground Beef Recipes

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons madras curry powder
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground beef brisket
1 1/2 pounds ground beef sirloin
6 slices American cheese
12 slices bacon, preferably applewood-smoked
6 Homemade Buns for Bacon Cheeseburgers, sliced lengthwise
Lettuce, for serving (optional)
Sliced tomato, for serving (optional)
Sliced red onion, for serving (optional)
Pickles, for serving (optional)
Ketchup, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together curry powder, cayenne pepper, and 2 tablespoons salt until well combined; set spice mixture aside.
  • Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold your hand above the grill for 1 to 2 seconds, you have high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, make sure the knobs are turned to high.
  • In a large bowl, using clean hands, mix together brisket and sirloin until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Divide meat equally into 6 balls, and flatten each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of each patty with spice mixture, reserving any remaining spice mixture for another use.
  • Place burger on grill, directly over heat, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare; top burgers with bacon and cover with cheese during the last minute of cooking.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon on grill and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Place burgers on the bottom half of each bun and top with 2 slices bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and ketchup as desired. Top with remaining bun halves and serve immediately. Serve pickles on the side.

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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground sirloin
1 pound ground chuck
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
12 slices center-cut bacon, cooked and drained
6 slices extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

Condiments as desired

Steps:

  • Grilling Method: Direct/Medium Heat
  • Mix the ground chuck and the ground sirloin together with a fork or with your hands. Season it lightly with salt and pepper, and mix just to combine. You do not want to over-mix the meat.
  • Gently shape the ground meat into six burgers of equal size and thickness (about 3/4-inch-thick). Brush both sides of the burgers with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Place burgers on cooking grate and grill until meat is to the desired level of doneness. The USDA recommends cooking all ground meat until no longer pink, about 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
