Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large potato, cut into fries (or 4 cups frozen fries)
- Oil for frying (if making fresh fries)
- Lettuce and tomato slices, for topping (optional)
How to Make Loaded Double Bacon Cheeseburger
- Start by cooking the fries. If using fresh potatoes, soak the cut fries in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C) and fry the potatoes until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. If using frozen fries, cook according to package instructions.
- While the fries are cooking, form the ground beef into two large patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet or grill over medium-high heat, add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, cook the beef patties for about 4 minutes on one side. Flip them, then place two slices of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, mix the mayonnaise and barbecue sauce in a small bowl to create a creamy sauce.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread the creamy sauce on the bottom bun, place one beef patty on top, followed by two slices of bacon, then the second beef patty. Top with more bacon if desired, and add lettuce and tomato slices. Finish with the top bun.
- Serve the loaded double bacon cheeseburgers with crispy fries on the side. Enjoy!
Tips for the Best Results
Make sure to use ground beef with a higher fat content (like 80/20) for juicier patties. Don’t press down on the patties while they cook, as this will release their juices. For extra flavor, try seasoning the beef with garlic powder or onion powder before forming the patties.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese, such as pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Add grilled onions or jalapeños for an extra layer of flavor.
- Use turkey or chicken patties for a lighter option.
- Try a different sauce, like ranch or sriracha mayo, for a unique twist.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy onion rings for added crunch.
- A fresh side salad to balance the richness of the burger.
- Coleslaw for a tangy side dish.
- Pickles or jalapeños for an extra kick.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the burger in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. For fries, reheat in an oven at 400°F (200°C) until crispy again.
