Categories     Appetizer

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
5 strips bacon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
12 cherry tomatoes (halved)
4 slices American cheese
3 leaves lettuce (large pieces, we used Buttercrunch lettuce)
pickle spheres
jalepeno slices
mustard, mayo, ketchup, BBQ, chipotle sauce (for dipping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl combine ground beef and seasonings. Use a 1-2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to make your meatballs. You should end up with about 24 meatballs. Line them in rows of 6 on a baking sheet. You can line the baking sheet with tinfoil to catch drippings for easy cleanup. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, cut five strips of bacon into 5 equal pieces per bacon strip. Cook in a skillet over medium heat. Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each piece of cheese into 6 rectangles.
  • Halve the 12 cherry tomatoes (or more if you end up with more meatballs).
  • Cut your lettuce into about 1 - 2 inch square pieces.
  • Put together your layers with a meatball on the bottom, followed by a piece of cheese, then bacon, lettuce, and topped with a halved cherry tomato.
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or any other burger style dipping sauce.

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.

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.
