Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices crisp bacon
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Potato fries (for serving)

How to Make Cheesy Bacon Burger with Creamy Sauce

  1. Start by cooking the bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
  2. While the bacon cooks, form the ground beef into four equal patties. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip them.
  4. 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 burgers reach your desired doneness (160°F for medium).
  5. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  6. Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
  7. Assemble your burgers: spread a generous amount of creamy sauce on the bottom half of each bun, place the cheesy beef patty on top, add two slices of bacon, and finish with the top half of the bun.
  8. Serve hot with crispy potato fries on the side.

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 to keep them juicy.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for a twist.
  • For added flavor, grill the buns lightly on the cut side.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add toppings like avocado, jalapeños, or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Use a different sauce, such as barbecue or chipotle mayo, to spice things up.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy potato fries or sweet potato fries
  • A fresh garden salad
  • Coleslaw for a crunchy side
  • Onion rings for an extra indulgent treat

Storage and Reheating

Leftover burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. For the best texture, avoid using the microwave.
