Bacon Cheeseburgers For A Crowd Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into four patties., Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 3 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160° and juices run clear. Top with cheese. Grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Serve on buns with bacon and toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
• Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a medium 8-inch (20-cm) cast-iron skillet, press down half of the ground beef with a spatula to mold into a patty. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty until browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the patty from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef.
• Return the pan to low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• Add the garlic and spinach, stirring until the spinach is cooked down, about 5 minutes.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a baking sheet and top with 1 patty.
• Layer 4 slices of cheese over the patty, then top with the caramelized onion mixture.
• Top with the remaining 4 slices of cheese and the other patty.
• Cover with the other sheet of puff pastry.
• Trim the edges of the pastry with a knife and discard.
• Crimp the edges of the pastry, then press with a fork to seal.
• Brush the top and sides of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
• Slice and serve with additional toppings of your choice.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange bacon on baking sheet in a single layer with the edges touching or slightly overlapping.
• Bake in preheated oven to desired degree of doneness, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove bacon from the baking sheet with tongs or a fork, and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Steps:

• Grilling Method: Direct/Medium Heat
• Mix the ground chuck and the ground sirloin together with a fork or with your hands. Season it lightly with salt and pepper, and mix just to combine. You do not want to over-mix the meat.
• Gently shape the ground meat into six burgers of equal size and thickness (about 3/4-inch-thick). Brush both sides of the burgers with oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Place burgers on cooking grate and grill until meat is to the desired level of doneness. The USDA recommends cooking all ground meat until no longer pink, about 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time.
• Top each burger with a slice of cheese during the last couple of minutes so the cheese will melt. Remove from grill and top each burger with 2 pieces of bacon. Let the burgers rest 2 to 3 minutes to reabsorb the juices.
• Serve hot on the buns with lettuce, tomato, and the traditional burger condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup) if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat.
• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry, stirring occasionally. When the bacon is almost done, add the onion. Cook until the bacon is crisp, and the onion is tender. Remove onion and bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a food processor. Pulse a couple of times to chop finely. Do not puree. Pour into a large bowl, and mix with steak sauce and ground chuck using your hands. Form into 16 patties.
• Place patties on the grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Place a slice of cheese on top of each one during the last minute.

Steps:

• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Mix beef, onions and pepper. Shape into 12 patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.
• Cover and grill patties 3 to 4 inches from medium heat 10 to 11 minutes, turning once, until no longer pink in center and juice is clear.
• Place burgers on bottom half of buns. Spoon dressing onto burgers; top each with 2 pieces of bacon. Top with top half of buns.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Without separating rolls, cut each package of rolls horizontally in half; arrange bottom halves in 2 greased 13x9-in. baking pans. Sprinkle each pan of rolls with 1 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes., In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking beef into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain. Stir in tomatoes, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until combined, 1-2 minutes., Spoon beef mixture evenly over rolls; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Top with bacon. Replace tops. For glaze, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Microwave, covered, on high until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Pour over rolls; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and heated through, 20-25 minutes. Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked sandwiches; prepare and freeze glaze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Pour glaze over buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake sandwiches as directed, increasing time by 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.
