I decided to do one last grilling recipe for the season since the weather has been so gorgeous, and what better way to go out then with a BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger! Everyone loves a good burger, and when you add cheese, bacon, bbq sauce, mushrooms, and onions it’s even better. These burgers are delicious, I added lettuce and tomato to them as well. Our side was super simple chips and top the tater, a MN staple. If you’re looking to grill a few more times try this recipe you won’t regret it.

BBQ BACON CHEESEBURGER

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
• 8 Essential Everyday American Singles Cheese Slices
• 1/2 cup chopped and cooked Essential Everyday Bacon
• 1 cup Essential Everyday Hickory Smoke Barbecue Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Essential Everyday 100% Pure Olive Oil
• 1 medium sliced onion
• 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 4 hamburger buns

DIRECTIONS

Season beef with salt and pepper. Form into 8 thin patties about 5-inches in diameter. Place 2 slices cheese and 2 tablespoons bacon in the center of 4 patties. Top with remaining patties. Press edges together, pinching to completely seal.

Prepare grill to medium heat. Place burgers on grill. Grill, turning once, about 7-14 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F on an instant read thermometer. Brush with barbecue sauce the last couple of minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms; salt and pepper to taste. Sauté until onions are golden brown and mushrooms are softened (about 5-7 minutes).

Place burgers on rolls; top with mushrooms and onions. Serve with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.
