Bacon-Cheeseburger

Made with Angus beef, bacon, cheese... What more can one ask for!?!



Ingredients:


1 lb Angus beef, made into 1/4 lb patties
4 slices cheese, (any you prefer: American, Cheddar, Swiss, Bleu)
salt and pepper

1 lb bacon
1 head of romaine lettuce, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 large tomatoes, sliced medium-thick
4 onion buns

Directions:

1. Heat grill to medium-high - about 400 ℉. Salt and pepper patties liberally on both sides. Set aside to come to room temperature (10 minutes).

2. Meanwhile, begin cooking bacon. Cook until just crisp, being careful to not over brown the bacon. Drain excess grease on paper towels. 

3. Place the beef patties on the grill and cook until desired doneness. 2 - 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Flip over only once and do not press the patties down with a spatula. This will ensure juice to remain in the meat. Once the patty has been flipped over, add the cheese slices. Immediately after adding cheese put both sides of the buns on the grill. Remove the patties and then remove the buns. Loosely cover the meat with foil, let rest 5 minutes. (I prepare condiments now.)

4. Assemble burgers, dressed buns, patty, bacon, lettuce and tomato and topped with bun. Enjoy!
