Indulging in Burger King’s Bacon Cheeseburger is a timeless treat, and now you can recreate the magic at home with this delicious copycat version. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
For the Patties:
- 1 pound ground beef chuck (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Burger:
- 4 hamburger buns (sesame seed recommended)
- Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- 8 slices American cheese
- 8 slices crispy bacon
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- 2 dill pickle slices per burger
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions:
- Make the patties: Divide the ground beef into four portions and shape them into slightly larger patties to account for shrinkage during cooking.
- Season the patties: Generously season each patty with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the patties: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2-3 minutes per side for a medium-rare burger, adjusting for your preferred doneness.
- Crisp the bacon: While patties cook, fry or bake bacon until crisp.
- Cheese the patties (optional): During the last 30 seconds of cooking, place 2 slices of American cheese on one patty. Repeat for the other patty.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast buns in a toaster or pan with a knob of butter for extra flavor.
- Assemble the burger: Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun. Layer with sliced onion and pickle slices. Place the cheese-topped patty on the bun, add 2 slices of crispy bacon, and top with the other patty (if making a Double Bacon Cheeseburger). Finish with the other half of the bun.
- Serve: Enjoy your homemade Burger King-inspired Bacon Cheeseburger!
This recipe serves as a fantastic base, allowing you to personalize your Burger King-inspired Bacon Cheeseburger with your preferred toppings. Enjoy your culinary creation!
