| You want to know how to make the best burger ever? Here it is: Start with 80/20 ground beef (20% fat). Form it into a massive patty, minimum of 1/3lbs, but preferably closer to 1/2lb. It will get smaller when you cook it. Season it with kosher salt, pepper, granulated garlic, cayenne pepper, and worcestershire. I personally love garlic so I used a bit extra. Throw the burger on a plate and into the freezer for about 10 minutes so it will hold it's shape well while on the grill. In the meantime you want to slice an onion about 1/8 of an inch thick. Also throw some bacon in a pan to fry on medium heat. Start with the lid on if you have a crappy ceramic cooktop like me. It will heat up the pan faster. You will need 1 slice of cheese. I used Swiss but cheddar would work great as well. 10 minutes has passed. Your bacon has been flipped at least once. And even though I didn't mention it earlier, your grill is now really hot. Throw the burger on the grill in the hottest spot and put the slice of onion on the side in a colder spot for indirect heat/grilling. Keep an eye on your bacon because you want it barely crispy. Not chewy and not burnt. Now run back outside and flip your burger as it's probably got a nice sear on one side. Should only be like two minutes or so. Wait another 2-3 minutes and flip the burger and throw your cheese on top. By now your bacon should be done. Throw it on a paper towel to soak up the excess grease. Then slice it in half. Go grab your burger off the grill, throw it on a bun with some mustard, and put your grilled onion and bacon on top. Enjoy. |
