Perfect for picnics and BBQs, this is a summertime family favorite. My husband is a fan of bacon cheeseburgers, but he doesn't like all the fat and grease. I decided to experiment and this is what I came up with. It is his favorite grilled cheeseburger now. Hopefully, you'll try this and find it a keeper just as I did.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Instead of adding cheese and bacon to the top of the burger, this bacon cheeseburger recipe adds the ingredients to the actual burger. Bacon bits give a savory and smoky flavor to the burgers. Adding shredded cheddar cheese to the burger patty makes the meat juicier, and means gooey cheese is in each bite. Cooking the burgers on a charcoal grill adds even more smoky flavor to the cheeseburgers.

How To Make bacon cheeseburgers to die for

Test Kitchen Tips
We made our burgers slightly smaller and were able to make 6 burgers.
  • Prepare the grill.
    1
    Light the grill. I prefer charcoal briquettes. Allow coals to get nice and hot.
  • Mix the ingredients.
    2
    Mix ingredients in the order given.
  • Shape into patties.
    3
    Shape into four patties. Make the patties flat, as they plump up when cooked.
  • Grill the cheeseburgers.
    4
    Place on hot grill and cook to preferred doneness.
