Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, mayo, mustard
Instructions:
- Prepare the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Form the patties: Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season each patty with salt and pepper.
- Cook the burgers: In the same skillet or on a grill, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Assemble the burgers: Place the cooked burger patties on the bottom halves of the buns. Top each with a slice of crispy bacon and a generous amount of blue cheese crumbles.
- Add optional toppings: Layer on your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and any condiments you prefer.
- Serve: Place the top halves of the buns on the burgers and serve immediately.
Enjoy your rich and flavorful Bacon Blue Cheese Burger!
