Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Burger Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese

For the Toppings

  • 4 slices of crispy bacon
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Pickles (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Season the Beef: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, then form into 4 equal patties.
  • Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
  • Grill the Patties: Place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
  • Assemble the Burgers: Place the cooked patties on the bottom halves of the buns. Top with crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce. Add pickles if desired, then cover with the top bun.
  • Serve: Plate the burgers and serve immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy the smoky, savory goodness!
