Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1/3 cup heavy cream
6 to 8 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Next, slice the rolls in half and spread each half with some softened butter. Place the rolls face-down on a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grill the rolls so they're nice and golden. Let the rolls cool on a plate until you need them.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Form the beef mixture into 6 patties and place in the skillet, in batches if needed. Allow each to cook about 4 minutes on the first side, flip them and place a slice of Cheddar on to melt.
  • When the patties are done in the middle, place them on the base of the halved buns. Top each with 2 pieces of the bacon and top with the other half of the rolls.

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.

BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces bacon
1 1/4 pounds ground beef chuck (80/20 blend preferred)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces farmhouse Cheddar, dry Jack or Comte, sliced
4 potato buns or kaiser rolls, toasted if desired
Lettuce and tomato slices, for topping

Steps:

  • 1. Pulse the bacon in a food processor, or chop with a knife, until ground. (If using a knife, freeze the bacon for a bit first to make the chopping easier.) 2. Combine the bacon and beef in a bowl, mixing lightly. Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Gently flatten into 1-inch patties and make a thumb-size divot in the middle of each.
  • 3. Heat a griddle or large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Evenly sprinkle the patties all over with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Griddle the burgers, turning when the bottom forms a dark brown crust, about 4 minutes. Add 1-ounce cheese on top of each burger and cook for 2 minutes. Cover the pan and turn the heat off. Allow to sit, covered, until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Place the burgers on the buns, top with lettuce and tomato. Cover with the top buns and serve.
