Moist and Delicious Grilled Well Done Bacon Cheese Burgers Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pound ground chuck
- 1 slice wholegrain white sandwich bread (cut into ¼ inch cubes – I put the bread in the freezer for a short period of time to stiffen it up, before I cut it)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons A-1 steak sauce
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon pepper
- 4 slices of cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of bacon (or more depending on how much you want on each burger) cooked until crispy and reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat.
- Condiments by choice – I used sliced onion and tomatoes.
Instructions
- Place the bread cubes in the bottom of a large bowl, add the milk, and then using a fork press the bread into the milk until smooth. Add the bacon fat, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and steak sauce and mix until well combined.
- Add the ground chuck to the mixture, and mix using your hands until thoroughly combined. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form 4 patties about a ½ inch thick, placing a small dent in the center of each burger.
- Heat, clean, and prepare the grill on high heat. grill the burgers on high heat on one side until well browned. Reduce the heat to medium-high and continue grilling the burgers until done. (I used an instant-read thermometer to a temperature of 155 – and then let the burgers rest for 10 minutes before placing on the bun)
- While the burgers are cooking toast the buns on the grill and set aside. Just before burgers are done, place 1 slice of cheese on each burger, close the grill, and continue cooking until cheese is melted.
- Let rest for 5 – 10 minutes and serve on the bun with bacon and condiments.
