Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This double cheeseburger is not just any burger; it’s a celebration of all things delicious. From the savory beef to the crispy bacon, each component is designed to elevate your burger experience.

  • Flavor Explosion: Juicy beef, creamy cheese, and smoky bacon create a mouthwatering combination.
  • Quick and Simple: Perfect for a weekend gathering or a cozy night in.
  • Customizable: Add your favorite toppings to make it your own.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices crispy bacon
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion

How to Make Double Cheeseburger with Bacon

  1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
  5. 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.
  6. While the burgers are cooking, fry the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  7. Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
