    Soy Sauce - this adds that "umami" taste to your burger. Helping to round out the flavors.

    Ground beef - I always go with an 80/20 ratio. The fat adds flavor and aids in keeping that burger from drying out.

    Parmesan cheese - buy the fresh cheese wedge over the dry grated cheese.

    Thick Cut Bacon, to add to the meaty deliciousness of this bbq cheeseburger!

    Black Peppercorns, to season the bacon

    Raw Sugar, to caramelize the bacon

    Cheddar cheese, to top the burger

    Hamburger rolls buy a good sturdy roll or make your own hamburger buns.

    Optional toppings: barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a large bowl mix together ground beef, soy sauce, and parmesan cheese. Shape about ⅓ cup of burger mixture into 1 patty. Place burger in refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    3. Lay bacon strips onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and raw sugar. Bake in oven until crispy. Watch carefully so sugar does not burn.
    4. Begin checking bacon after 10 minutes in the oven. Depending on the thickness of your bacon, this will be ready in about 15-20 minutes. Remove the bacon from oven and set aside.
    5. Preheat grill for burgers. Once grill is hot, place burgers on grill and cook for about 10 minutes on each side or until temperature is at least 145 (for medium rare), 160 (for medium), or 170 (for well done).
    6. Turn off grill and place a slice of cheese on top of each burger. Close lid and let sit for 5 minutes to allow cheese to melt some. Remove from grill.
    7. Serve with bacon, lettuce, onion, and tomato (if using).

    🥄 Equipment

    Gas grill (or charcoal grill)

    Barbecue basting mop

    Parchment paper

    Baking sheet

    Instant read thermometer

    🥫Storage

    Store any leftover cheeseburgers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.

    Gourmet Summer Burger Recipes

    📖 Variations

    • Skip the lettuce and tomato and top with the sweet black pepper bacon and grilled onions.
    • Top with a smoky black pepper mayo. Mix 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper into ½ cup mayonnaise.
    • Top with fried onion rings or tater tots, or these crispy cheese chips.
    • Substitute brown sugar for raw sugar when making the sweet black pepper bacon.

    💭 Tips

    • Use fresh ground beef and stick with 80/20 fat ratio to keep moisture and flavor.
    • Keep the seasoning simple. Over seasoning will ruin a good burger.
    • Always shape the steakhouse burger patties larger than the bun you plan to put it in. The meat will shrink as it cooks.
    • Make an indent in the center of the burger with your thumb. This aids in cooking the burger evenly.
    • Do not flip the burgers more than once! Flipping the burgers over and over again will make them tough.
    • Use a sturdy burger bun that will hold up to the bacon cheeseburgers. We love a good bakery quality brioche bun!
    • Check for doneness with an instant read thermometer.
    • Grill those burger buns. Spread butter on the bun and place them butter side down on the grill or on a griddle. Toast until golden.

        Hi Cathy, I went into MyFitnessPal and calculated for you. The sandwich with the bun calculates at 587 calories. That is using a generic Kaiser Roll. Without the bun it calculates at 396 calories.
