Double-Bacon Gourmet Cheeseburgers

Makes 4 servings

• 10 slices bacon
• 1-1/2 pounds ground chuck (80% lean)
• 1 tablespoon Weber® Grill Creations® Gourmet Burger seasoning
• 4 thin slices cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 8 medium slices ripe tomato
• 4 pieces lettuce

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook half of the bacon at a time until crisp, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain each batch of bacon on paper towels.

2. Crumble 2 slices of bacon into a medium bowl. Mix in the ground chuck and the seasoning. Shape into 4 patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.

3. Grill the patties over direct high heat (450°F to 550°F), with the lid closed as much as possible, until medium, 8 to 10 minutes, turning once when the patties release easily from the grate. During the last couple minutes of grilling, put a slice of cheese on each patty to melt. Also toast the hamburger buns, cut sides down, over direct high heat. Assemble the burgers on buns with the tomato, lettuce, and the remaining bacon slices.

Make a shallow depression about 1” wide in the center of each patty so the centers are about 1/2” thick. This will help the patties cook evenly and prevent them from puffing on the grill.

Tip: Make a shallow depression about 1” wide in the center of each patty so the centers are about 1/2” thick. This will help the patties cook evenly and prevent them from puffing on the grill.
