Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 Hamburger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce (optional)
- 4 slices Tomato slices (optional)
- 1 to taste Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix as it can make the burgers tough.
Step 3
Divide the ground beef mixture into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a thin patty, roughly the same size.
Step 4
Place a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese and some chopped bacon onto the center of 4 of the patties. Lay the remaining 4 patties on top of the cheese and bacon, then press the edges together to seal completely and form a stuffed burger.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness, ensuring the cheese inside has melted.
Step 7
While the burgers cook, toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by placing each cooked patty onto the bottom bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and your choice of condiments, then cover with the top bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately with fries or your favorite side dish, and enjoy!
