The Best Bacon Cheeseburger Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

Steps:

• Place the beef into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cream, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. With clean hands, mix the meat well. Set aside.
• Next, slice the rolls in half and spread each half with some softened butter. Place the rolls face-down on a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grill the rolls so they're nice and golden. Let the rolls cool on a plate until you need them.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Form the beef mixture into 6 patties and place in the skillet, in batches if needed. Allow each to cook about 4 minutes on the first side, flip them and place a slice of Cheddar on to melt.
• When the patties are done in the middle, place them on the base of the halved buns. Top each with 2 pieces of the bacon and top with the other half of the rolls.

Steps:

• Chop the dill pickle and onion then set the pieces on a paper towel to dry.
• Prepare a small amount of ground hamburger and dice it up to small pieces.
• Cook bacon and cut it up in to small pieces as well. I usually plan for this meal ahead of time and brown the ground beef a day earlier with a different meal. I save bacon from breakfast and it allows me less cooking when I make this pizza.
• Follow the directions on the tube of raw pizza dough as far as the prep of the dough.
• Once the dough is ready to topped apply a thin layer of mustard all over the dough except for the edges.
• Sprinkle your bacon over the entire pizza followed by the onions and then the hamburger.
• Cover the pizza with cheese and sprinkle a few pickles on the top.
• Bake at the time a temperature as instructed on the pizza dough tube. It tastes great!
• It sounds weird because you may not have ever put pickles or mustard on your pizza but it tastes just like a bacon cheeseburger. It's something different and I enjoy it a lot.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties., Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 3 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Top with cheese. Grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Serve on buns with bacon and toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook bacon. Drain. Crumble. Set aside in a medium bowl. Do not discard grease from skillet.
• In same skillet with bacon grease brown beef, onion, celery, garlic powder and pepper. Remove with slotted spoon to bowl with bacon. Be sure to remove all solids from skillet, leaving fat. Add tomatoes to the beef mixture.
• Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2" dice. When fat in skillet is very hot again, fry potato cubes on all sides until well browned. Drain. Remove to bowl with bacon and beef. (You are done with the skillet, now!).
• In soup pot, melt butter and add flour. Whisk for 1 minute to cook flour.
• Add chicken broth and half-and-half. Cook, whisking constantly, until you see the first signs of thickening.
• Begin adding grated cheeses, a little at a time, whisking constantly, until soup is bubbling, creamy and thick. Remove from heat. Add parsley, mustard and relish. Stir well.
• Add bowl of bacon and beef mixture and potatoes. Stir. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.
