Tasteful Tuesday: Burgers

Monday night I made the ultimate bacon cheeseburger. I am not a big burger person, but this sure filled the craving I had!


Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger
3lbs of ground round (1/2lb per person, I bought the pre-made patties, but you can make your own with less meat)
A block of cheese, sliced (about 3 slices per burger)
1 lb of bacon
1 package of buns
And any toppings that you wish to top your burger!

1. If you did not buy pre-made patties here is where you will make your hamburger patties. You will need two patties per burger, so if you are having four people for dinner you need 8 patties.
2. Take one patty and lay about three slices of cheese in the center of the patty. Take another patty and place it over the top. Press the edges of the two patties together. Make sure to seal it up good otherwise while you are cooking it all the cheese will melt out from the inside.
3. Cook the pound of bacon.
4. Place all the burgers on the grill or if you have a broiler you can use that too. Pan frying also works. I used a George Foreman Grill to cook both the bacon and the burgers. Make sure to cook the burgers thoroughly.
5. Serve!
I also got a bag of french fries to go along with the burgers and don't forget all the toppings!!!
