ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended ( Frank's Red Hot)
- salt, to taste
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices bacon, diced
- 1⁄2 onion, chopped
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 hamburger buns
- lettuce, garnish
- tomatoes, garnish
- pickle, garnish
directions
- Preheat grill to medium.
- In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, being careful not to over mix.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and fry bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep heat on skillet and fry a pinch of the beef in the bacon fat to test seasoning. Adjust seasoning, if needed, then form 8 even thin patties, about 1/2-inch thick and set aside.
- Saute onions in bacon fat in skillet until tender, 5 minutes. Place onions and bacon in a bowl with cheese. Form a spoonful of bacon-cheese mixture into a ball, then place in the center of 4 patties. Top each with another patty and seal the edges.
- Grill burgers over medium-high heat, flipping once until desired doneness is reached, approximately 4 minutes each side for medium. Serve in buns with garnishes.
- Alternative: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sear the burgers 4 minutes on each side.
