How to Make Double Cheeseburger with Bacon
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
- After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, fry the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Assemble your burgers: spread barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each bun, add the cheeseburger patty, top with two slices of bacon, and any additional toppings you desire.
- Finish with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers are cooked to a safe temperature.
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier results.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique twist.
Easy Variations
- Swap out cheddar for pepper jack for an extra kick.
- Add sautéed mushrooms and onions for a gourmet touch.
- Use turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy french fries or sweet potato fries
- Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
- Grilled corn on the cob for a summer vibe
- Onion rings for an extra indulgent treat
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
