Ingredients:
-
For the Patties:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend is perfect for that juicy goodness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
For the Bacon:
- 6 slices of thick-cut bacon
-
For the Cheese:
- 4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
-
For the Toppings:
- 1 large onion, sliced into rings
- 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
- Pickles (optional, but come on, they’re awesome)
- 4 onion rings (for that extra crunch)
-
For the Buns:
- 4 sesame seed buns, toasted
Instructions:
-
Prep the Beef Patties:
- Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Form each portion into a patty that's about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
-
Cook the Bacon:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Try not to eat all the bacon before it makes it to the burger, dude.
-
Grill the Patties:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. About a minute before they're done, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty so it gets nice and melty.
-
Grill the Onion Rings:
- While the patties are grilling, toss the onion rings on the grill for a minute or two, just enough to get some grill marks and a bit of char. These are gonna add some serious crunch to your burger.
-
Assemble the Burger:
- Toast the buns on the grill for about 30 seconds, just until they get a bit of a crispy edge.
- Place one patty on the bottom bun, followed by a slice of bacon, then another patty, another slice of bacon, and top it off with a grilled onion ring.
- Drizzle generously with BBQ sauce and add pickles if you like ‘em.
- Crown your masterpiece with the top bun.
Pro Tips:
- Mix it Up: If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out the cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
- Go Gourmet: Add some avocado slices or jalapeños for an extra layer of flavor.
- Make it a Feast: Pair your burger with Dudefood’s own Father’s Day Special Meat Box for an epic BBQ spread.
