Ingredients
- 4 Slices Smoked Bacon
- 1 1/2 Lb. Ground Chuck
- 3/4 Plus 1/8 tsp. Salt
- 3/4 Plus 1/8 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Small Red Onion, sliced into thin rings
- 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 4 Slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 4 Burger Buns
- 1/4 C. Mayonnaise
- 4 Green Leaf Lettuce Leaves
- 8 Slices Tomato
- 1/4 C. Coarse Ground Mustard
Instructions
- Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat.
- In large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 12 minutes or until crisp, turning occasionally. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate to cool; cut slices crosswise in half.
- In large bowl, gently mix ground chuck, 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper until well blended but not overmixed. Form mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
- In medium bowl, toss onion, oil and remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place 12 x 16-inch sheet aluminum foil on work surface; place onion in center of foil. Bring top and bottom of foil sheet together over onion; crimp together and fold down over onion. Double fold both ends of packet toward onion.
- Place onion packet on hot grill rack; cover and cook 20 minutes. Place burgers on hot grill rack; cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes longer or until internal temperature of burgers reaches 160°, turning once. About 2 minutes before burgers are done, top burgers with bacon and cheese, and place buns, cut side down, on hot grill rack; cook 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and buns are toasted.
- Spread bottom halves of buns with mayonnaise; top with lettuce, tomato, burgers, onions, mustard and top buns.
Notes
Helpful Tips:
- Be gentle when mixing the ground chuck with the seasoning. Overmixing can make the burgers dry and tough.
- To prevent the burgers from bulging in the center during cooking, press down in the center of each patty with a thumb to create a depression.
- Use a spatula rather than tongs to flip the burgers to prevent releasing the tasty juices from the burgers and drying them out.
