Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion

How to Make Cheesy Bacon Burger with Creamy Sauce

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat.
2. In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Form into four equal patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.
3. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
4. In the same skillet, cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Toast the sesame seed buns in the skillet or on the grill until lightly golden.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a cheesy patty on each bun. Top with crispy bacon and add any additional toppings you like. Drizzle with the creamy sauce and serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ground beef with a higher fat content (like 80/20) for juicier burgers.
• Don’t press down on the patties while cooking; this helps retain their juices.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or sauces to customize your burger.
• Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.

Easy Variations

• Swap the cheddar for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
• For a healthier option, use ground turkey or chicken and whole-grain buns.
• Try adding avocado slices or guacamole for a creamy twist.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a refreshing crunch
• A simple green salad with vinaigrette
• Onion rings for an extra treat
• Grilled corn on the cob
