Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef (80/20)
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices crispy bacon
- 4 soft hamburger buns
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Ignite the grill to a robust 375°F, preparing for a sizzling culinary adventure.
- Tenderly combine ground beef with seasoned salt and freshly cracked black pepper, gently shaping four uniform patties with a delicate touch.
- Position patties onto the heated grill grates, allowing them to sear and develop a rich caramelized exterior for approximately 4 minutes per side.
- During the final moments of grilling, crown each patty with a luxurious slice of cheese, watching it melt into a velvety blanket.
- Briefly kiss the burger buns against the grill’s surface, transforming them into golden, crisp platforms with subtle char marks.
- Craft the ultimate burger by layering crisp lettuce leaves as a fresh foundation, followed by juicy tomato slices, the molten cheese-topped beef patty, and finishing with crackling, crisp bacon strips nestled between toasted buns.
Notes
- Experiment with different ground beef blends like chuck or sirloin for richer flavor profiles and improved texture.
- Avoid overworking meat while forming patties to keep burgers tender and prevent tough, dense results.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers reach safe internal temperature of 160°F without overcooking.
- Consider gluten-free bun options or lettuce wraps for low-carb and celiac-friendly alternatives.
