What You’ll Need For Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

Here are the ingredients that you’ll need to make bacon cheesburgers at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.

• Ground Beef– Use a good quality lean ground beef for the burgers.
• Taco Seasoning– Any favorite taco seasoning mix works great here. Use my homemade taco seasoning recipe too.
• Salt– I generally use kosher salt in my recipes. Sea salt works great too.
• Pepper- Use freshly ground black pepper for best tasting results.
• Cheese Slices– We enjoy mild cheddar cheese slices for our burgers. Use your favorite.
• Hamburger Buns– Look for good quality hamburger buns. We enjoy the Brioche buns from Sprouts Grocery Store.
• Mayonnaise– Spread taco seasoned mayonnaise on hamburger buns if desired.
• Lettuce Leaves– Iceburg or butter lettuce leaves work great.
• Tomato Slices– Use your favorite variety of tomatoes for slicing.
• Cilantro– Fresh cilantro adds freshness and color to the burgers.
• Cooked Bacon– I pick up the microwave ready to heat bacon when I’m in a hurry. Cooking up your own bacon is best.

How To Make Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

Add Beef and Seasonings To Mixing Bowl. Place ground beef into large mixing bowl. Add taco seasoning, salt and pepper to beef, stir to combine.

Divide Into Patties. Divide into 4 patties, pressing to form a tight round.

Grill Burgers. Grease grill and grill burgers 4-6 minutes each side, until grilled to desired doneness.

Add Cheese To Melt and Toast Buns. During last 2 minutes of grilling add a slice of cheese to melt. Remove from grill. Toast buns cut side down to toast lightly.

Prepare Taco Mayonnaises and Spread on Rolls. Place mayonnaise and taco seasoning into a small bowl, stirring to combine. Spread mayonnaise onto cut sides of rolls.

Add Toppings. Layer bottom roll with a lettuce leaf, a burger, 2 slices of tomatoes, cilantro leaves and bacon slices. Close with top roll and serve warm.

Recipe Tips For Success

• Make your own taco seasoning recipe if you don’t want to use a store bought seasoning.

Serve cheeseburgers warm at your next dinner where burgers are wanted. They are great on their own and also pair perfect with salad and vegetables. Crispy French Fries are always a good pairing too.
