It’s summer, time to start grilling.
Serves 4
Ingredients
- ½ pound sliced bacon, divided
- 20 ounces freshly ground beef, divided into four 5-ounce patties
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 thick slices yellow or white onion
- 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
- Shredded iceberg lettuce and pickles (if desired)
- 4 toasted hamburger buns
DIRECTIONS
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange half of bacon on a rimmed baking sheet and cook in oven until crisp and well browned, about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- When ready to serve, season burger patties generously with salt and pepper and cook burgers to desired doneness on a hot grill or in a skillet on the stovetop, 125°F for medium rare or 135°F for medium, topping with cheese for last minute of cooking. Let burger patties rest for 5 minutes off heat. While burgers are resting, season onions with salt and pepper and cook on hot grill or in a lightly oiled skillet until tender and well browned on both sides.
- Place shredded lettuce on bottom buns and top with burger patties. Top with cooked onion slices, and bacon. Close burgers and serve immediately.
