Bacon Swiss Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• 1. If you will be grilling the burgers, preheat a barbecue grill to medium-high.
• 2. While the grill is heating up, cook the bacon on the stovetop in a large skillet over medium-low heat until it is just crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set it aside to drain. (If you prefer to panfry the burgers, reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet.)
• 3. Place the beef, Worcestershire, Tabasco, thyme, and salt and pepper in a bowl, and toss lightly with a fork to combine. Form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
• 4. When you are ready to grill the burgers, oil the grill grate well. Add the burgers and grill for about 3 minutes for rare, 4 minutes for medium-rare meat. Turn them over and grill for another 3 or 4 minutes, topping the burgers with the cheese in the last minute of cooking. (Or panfry the burgers in the hot bacon fat over medium heat for 3 minutes per side for rare meat, adding the cheese as described.)
• 5. Place the burgers on the toasted buns, and top them with the bacon, tomato, onion, avocado, and lettuce. Cover with the tops of the buns and serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. If baking bacon, bring oven to 400 degree F. Lay slices of bacon on baking sheet, bake until as crisp as you like, turning to bake evenly. Takes about 10 minutes. The bacon stays nice and straight, no shriveling.
• 2. Preheat the broiler and line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil.
• 3. Lightly mix the beef with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. ( I sometimes add some onion and garlic powder ). Gently form into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
• 4. Arrange on the prepared pan and brush both sides with olive oil.
• 5. Broil until browned, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. I broil til well done.
• 6. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
• 7. Add the mushrooms and cook 2 more minutes.
• 8. Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• 9. Sauce: You can use whatever favorite condiment you prefer. I used this. 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, mix set aside.
• 10. Top each patty with one-quarter of the mushroom mixture and 1 slice cheese. Return to the broiler to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
• 11. I then add the bacon, and another slice of cheese, return to broiler for 1 more minute or until cheese is nicely melted.
• 12. Spread the buns with the ketchup mixture; sandwich with the patties and some lettuce, and whatever other condiments you prefer. Enjoy!

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:

• To prepare herbed mayo: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, dried herbs, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice, mixing well. Cover and refrigerate.
• Cut each strip of bacon in half and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crisp.
• Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings from the pan.
• Add mushroom slices and soy sauce to the pan.
• Over medium heat, saute mushrooms until browned and soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• To prepare burgers, mix ground beef, garlic granules, and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Form into patties. Place on prepared grill and grill 3 to 5 minutes per each side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
• During last 2 minutes of cooking, top with cheese and cover to melt cheese.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 400 degrees, arrange hamburger buns on a foil-lined cookie sheet and lightly toast hamburger buns in the oven on each side.
• When toasted, remove buns to serving plates and spread some of the herbed mayonnaise on each bun.
• To serve, put cheese-topped patties on each bun, add desired hamburger trimmings, finish with the top bun and enjoy.
