Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef (half lean and half regular)
- 6 medium garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke seasoning (hickory flavoring)
- 1 tablespoon peppercorns (crushed, four-peppercorn blend)
- 2 teaspoons seasoning salt
- Olive oil
- 4 ounces sliced American cheese (4 slices)
- 8 ounces sliced bacon (cooked, 8 slices)
- 1 red onion (sliced into 8 slices)
- 4 (6 ounces) bread buns (hamburger buns)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat grill to medium high.
-
Step 2: In a bowl combine ground beef, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, seasoning salt and peppercorn. Mix to combine. Shape into four patties slightly larger than your bun. Make a slight indentation in the center of the burger to prevent it from doming up in the center. The indentation will rise as your burger cooks. Lightly brush burger with olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Step 3: Grill until golden brown and slightly charred (about 3 minutes), turning once (cook for 3 minutes on the other side for medium). Try not to press down on your burger with a spatula. It will cause the juices to escape and will create a dry burger!
-
Step 4: Toast hamburger bus by placing on grill until grill marks form (watch closely the buns can burn quickly!).
-
Step 5: Serve burger on toasted bun with a slice of cheese, 2 slices of bacon cut in half, and red onion.
