Bacon Onion Cheddar Burger
Burger. Bacon. Onion. Cheddar Cheese. How can you go wrong? Maybe have it made for you by that big old fast food place around the corner so you don't have to make it on the grill?
What??? Unless the taste has been slapped out of your mouth, you need to make this. The recipe we use has beef with amazing taste, combined with perfectly cooked bacon and onions. Besides being filled with cheese, they're topped with cheese that's put on at just the right time and melted just the right way before it goes into your mouth.
It's not based on a corporate handbook. It's real burger-on-a-barbecue food. It has flavor. Unlike their burger.
Bacon Onion Cheddarburger Recipe
Ingredients:
8 strips bacon, cooked and broken into pieces
3 cups sliced onion
4 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 pound lean ground beef
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
4 hamburger buns
Directions:
1. In a large skillet cook onion in the 4 teaspoons hot oil over medium heat about 10 minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.
2. Stir in bacon pieces, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover; keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine beef, Worcestershire sauce, the 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and the garlic. Divide into eight equal portions.
4. Shape each portion into a 4-inch diameter patty. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly among each of four of the patties. Top with remaining patties, pressing down lightly and sealing edges well.
