Instrucciones

Prepare the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Consejo del chef: Use a grill brush to ensure the grates are clean before oiling.

Form the patties

Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Consejo del chef: Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Grill the burgers

Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Consejo del chef: Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F for well-done.

Add cheese and bacon

Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and a slice of crispy bacon during the last minute of grilling. Close the lid to melt the cheese.

Consejo del chef: Cover the grill with the lid to help the cheese melt faster.

Toast the buns

Place the hamburger buns on the grill, cut side down, and toast for about 1 minute until golden brown.

Consejo del chef: Watch the buns closely to prevent burning.

Assemble the burgers

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun if desired, then layer with lettuce, a patty, tomato, and the top bun. Serve immediately.

Consejo del chef: Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes before serving to retain their juices.
