Baked Bacon Burgers Food

THE BEST BACON CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

BAKED BACON-BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the beef, milk, salt, pepper, and onion. Mix until combined but do not overwork the meat. Form the beef into patties and place on a broiler pan. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the burgers cool just enough to handle, then wrap each with 2 slices of raw bacon, tucking the bacon ends under the burgers. Return the burgers to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until the bacon is crisp. Serve the bacon-wrapped burgers on buns with any desired toppings.

JUICY BACON BURGERS

Steps:

• Process the bacon in a mini food processor on the "chop" setting until finely ground. Mix it into the beef with the remaining ingredients.
• Form the mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Use your thumb to make a shallow dimple in the middle of each burger. This helps them retain their shape.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Add the burgers. If the skillet is well-seasoned, there's no need to add oil. Otherwise, add a tablespoon of oil to the pan before adding the burgers.
• Cook the burgers until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side over medium heat.*
• Serve immediately with your favorite hamburger toppings.**

• Shape the ground beef mixture into 6 equal size burgers. Sprinkle the burgers evenly on both sides with the flour.
• Oil the grill grates. Heat half the burners to medium-high heat, about 400 F to 470 F. The other half of the grill should be low heat, about 200 F to 275 F.
• Place the burgers on the medium-high heat side and cook until well-browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Move them to the low heat side and continue to cook to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes more.

PERFECT BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Place the beef into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cream, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. With clean hands, mix the meat well. Set aside.
• Next, slice the rolls in half and spread each half with some softened butter. Place the rolls face-down on a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grill the rolls so they're nice and golden. Let the rolls cool on a plate until you need them.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Form the beef mixture into 6 patties and place in the skillet, in batches if needed. Allow each to cook about 4 minutes on the first side, flip them and place a slice of Cheddar on to melt.
• When the patties are done in the middle, place them on the base of the halved buns. Top each with 2 pieces of the bacon and top with the other half of the rolls.

SPECIAL BACON WRAPPED BURGERS

Steps:

• Fire up the grill (adding a little hickory to the coals adds some extra flavor).
• Mix raw beef, chopped onion, barbeque sauce and salt/pepper until thoroughly blended. (*Option if you have kids who will not eat visible onion is to mince the onion in a food processor rather than chopping. They will never know!).
• Form 4 large, thick 1/3 lb burgers.
• Wrap each burger's circumference with a strip of uncooked bacon and secure with a couple of toothpicks. (*Option if you prefer crisp bacon is to precook the bacon to about half done, let it cool slightly and then wrap each burger. With this method, the bacon is somewhat shrunk so two slices may be needed to surround each burger. It's a little messier prep, but the bacon ends up nice and crisp by the time the burgers are fully cooked.).
• Once wrapped you can flatten them out a little bit with the palm of your hand. The bacon will 'stretch' to accomodate the sirloin mixture.
• Sprinkle each side with your favorite grilling spices.
• Grill 10 minutes or so on each side or just until center is perfectly pink. (*I also get great results broiling in an iron skillet. Just be sure to place your rack on the highest setting and preheat both the oven and the skillet at 500 degrees before switching over to 'broil' and adding the burgers to the hot skillet. This way, you should not even have to flip the burgers -- juicy and delicious!).
• Dress as you like and enjoy! (Don't forget to remove the toothpicks!).
