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 |
tomato, garnish |
pickle, garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat grill to medium.
2. In a bowl combine beef, garlic, hot sauce, salt and pepper, to taste, being careful not to over mix.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Alternative: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, sear the burgers 4 minutes on each side.
