Bacon Cheeseburger
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 8 slices of thick cut bacon
- ½ red onion sliced
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup mayo
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 4 sesame seed buns or whatever buns you have handy!
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side until nice and crisp. Set aside on a paper towel.
- Drain the bacon grease from the pan leaving just enough grease to cook the red onion in (about 1 tbsp). Add the sliced red onion to the skillet and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally.
- While the onions are cooking, form four hamburger patties. Try not to overwork the meat for best results. Rub about a half teaspoon of mustard on each patty. Then, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a bit of worcestershire sauce.
- Heat your grill pan to medium-high heat. If you don't have a grill pan, you can use a cast iron skillet, or just a regular skillet. Add the hamburger patties to the hot grill pan and cook for 5 minutes, undisturbed. Flip patties over and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Place a cheese slice on each patty and turn off heat. Cover and let cheese melt.
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on each bun.
- Assemble burgers with cheeseburger patty, caramelized onions and bacon. Serve with french fries or your favorite side dishes!
