A family favorite that turned our dining table into a gourmet burger restaurant.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This recipe is not just about replicating a famous burger; it’s about experiencing a burst of flavors that are both unique and comforting. The crispy bacon, melted cheese, and tangy barbecue sauce blend perfectly with the hearty beef patty, making every bite unforgettable. It’s quick, easy to assemble, and lets you enjoy gourmet-like burgers without stepping out of your home.
Ingredients Notes
The success of this dish relies on both quality and balance. Opt for 80/20 ground beef for juicy, flavorful patties. Crisp romaine lettuce provides a fresh crunch, while cheddar cheese offers a creamy contrast. If you can’t find pickles, thinly sliced cucumbers with a pinch of salt work as a great substitute. Use sesame seed buns for an authentic look and a hint of nuttiness.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into patties slightly larger than your buns. Grill or fry them over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
Step 2
Fry bacon strips until crispy. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess grease.
Step 3
Place cheese slices over the hot patties while they’re still in the pan, letting them melt naturally with the residual heat.
Step 4
Lightly toast the sesame seed buns on the grill cut side down to enhance their flavor and prevent them from getting soggy.
Step 5
Assemble your burger: bottom bun, lettuce, burger patty with cheese, barbecue sauce, bacon, pickles, and top bun.
Storage Options
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, wrap the burger in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes. For freezing, individually wrap assembled burgers (without lettuce) in wax paper and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month.
Variations & Substitutions
For a lighter version, swap ground beef with turkey and use low-fat cheese. Vegetarians can replace the beef patty with a plant-based alternative and omit the bacon, replacing it with a vegan-friendly substitute. Add jalapenos for a spicy kick, or use ranch dressing instead of barbecue sauce for a creamy twist.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is perfect for casual get-togethers or weekend family dinners. Pair it with crispy fries or a side salad for a complete meal. For an outdoor event, serve alongside grilled corn and cold beverages, creating a relaxed, festive atmosphere.
