Ingredients
- 2 pounds Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 8 buns Hamburger buns
- 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 8 leaves Lettuce (large leaves)
- 2 tomatoes Tomato (large, sliced)
- 1 onion Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 16 slices Pickle slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Use your hands to gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 3
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and form them into burger patties about 3/4-inch thick. Press a slight indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Step 4
Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Step 5
Grill the burger patties on the preheated grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt the cheese.
Step 6
Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, just until warmed and slightly crisp.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous spoonful of BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a cooked burger patty, 2 slices of bacon, a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and 2 pickle slices.
Step 8
Top with the other half of the bun, serve immediately, and enjoy the ultimate All American BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers!
