Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indent in the center to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill Patties

    Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese to each. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

  3. 5

    Cook Bacon

    While the patties are cooking, place the bacon strips on a separate grill pan or grill grate and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Assemble the Burgers

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the grilled patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, pickles, and a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to secure all ingredients.
