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.

This burger came to me in a daydream and I just happened to have enough ingredients to make it work. It is incredibly juicy and the flavors harmonize very well together. If you enjoy a good pub-style burger, this one's definitely for you! Add whatever condiments you prefer.

Provided by Ryan McKeagney

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick bacon strips, cut into small pieces
1 pound ground beef
⅔ cup diced green onions
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A1®)
4 slices sharp or mild Cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Drain bacon bits on paper towels.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) to 325 degrees F (165 degrees Fahrenheit). Lightly oil the grate.
  • Separate ground beef into 1/4-pound portions. Mix bacon and green onions in a bowl and press onto either side of ground beef, working it in until mixture has an even consistency. Shape mixture into patties. Mix garlic salt and ground black pepper in a bowl and rub on both sides of the patties. Press a small indentation into the center of each patty.
  • Place burgers on the preheated grill and pour 1/2 tablespoon of steak sauce into each indentation. Grill burgers for 5 minutes. Flip and add 1/2 tablespoon of steak sauce to the center of each burger. Top each with a slice of Cheddar cheese and grill until cheese is melted and burger has reached desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, begin toasting hamburger buns on the grill rack.
  • Remove burgers and buns from the grill once the cheese has melted. Assemble burgers.

AIR FRYER BACON CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS



Air Fryer Bacon Cheeseburger Sliders image

I love that I can cook a patty plus melt the cheese in the air fryer. It makes for a quick cleanup!

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 8 bacon cheeseburger sliders

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (preferably 80% lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 slices cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked
8 slider buns, split
4 leaves butter lettuce, torn in half
2 Roma tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
1 red onion, very thinly sliced
Barbecue sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise and yellow mustard, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 375˚ F.
  • Divide the ground beef into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a loose ball, then press them flat until they are each just wider than the slider buns (they should be about 1/2 inch thick). Make a small indentation in the center of each patty. Season the patties generously with salt and pepper.
  • Place the patties in an air fryer basket in a single layer. Close the fryer and cook until the patties are browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the patties registers 150˚ F, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon on each patty and cook until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to the desired doneness, about 1 minute.
  • Carefully remove the patties from the air fryer. Serve on the slider buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion, barbecue sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ground beef. Look for beef that is at least 80% lean.
  • Season the beef patties generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the beef patties over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the patties while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss. You can also use a combination of cheeses.
  • Toast the buns before assembling the burgers. This will help to keep the buns from getting soggy.
  • Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and ketchup.
  • For the fry sauce, simply combine mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, and paprika in a bowl. You can also add other ingredients, such as mustard, garlic powder, or onion powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

These bacon cheeseburgers with fry sauce are the perfect meal for any occasion. They are delicious, easy to make, and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a crowd-pleasing meal, give these burgers a try. You won't be disappointed!
