Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburgers: Mouthwatering Steak Sauce Twist

Ingredients

• 4 strips of thick bacon, sliced into small bits
• 1 pound of ground beef
• ⅔ cup of finely chopped green onions
• ½ teaspoon of savory garlic salt
• ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons of a flavorful steak sauce like A1®
• 4 slices of either sharp or mellow Cheddar cheese
• 4 soft hamburger buns

Step 1

In a spacious skillet, place the bacon and let it sizzle over medium-low heat, giving it a turn now and then until it achieves a lovely brown hue, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Once done, let the bacon bits rest on paper towels to drain any excess grease.

Step 2

As the outdoor grill warms up to a cozy medium heat, around 300 to 325 degrees F, take a moment to lightly oil the grate for easy cooking.

Step 3

Dive into the ground beef, dividing it into manageable 1/4-pound portions. Combine the crispy bacon and fresh green onions in a mixing bowl, then gently press this flavorful mixture onto each side of the ground beef, ensuring an even distribution. Form the seasoned meat into delightful patties, and in a separate bowl, whisk together garlic salt and ground black pepper to sprinkle generously on both sides of the patties. Create a small hollow in the center of each patty for even cooking.

Step 4

Once the grill is ready, carefully place the patties on it and pour a touch of steak sauce into the hollow of each burger. Allow them to cook for about 5 minutes before flipping them over, adding another dollop of steak sauce to the center. Crown each patty with a slice of Cheddar cheese, and grill until the cheese melts to gooey perfection and the burger reaches your preferred level of doneness, usually about 4 more minutes. To ensure they are cooked through, an instant-read thermometer should register at least 160 degrees F in the center.

Step 5

While the burgers are grilling, start toasting the hamburger buns on the grill for a delightful crispness.

Step 6

Once the cheese has melted and the burgers are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the grill, along with the golden toasted buns. Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings and condiments for a mouthwatering feast.
