In his very greasy (not that there’s anything wrong with
that) bag was a coupon for the chain’s newest creation, the grilled cheese
bacon burger. I could tell he was intrigued by the way he said, “Hmm.”
Being the competitor that I am (he’s already accused me of
trying to “win” puppy kindergarten, which, of course I am) I took that as a challenge. "Challenge accepted," I said in my best Barney Stinson voice.
And so I present, Katrina’s grilled cheese bacon burger.
Made especially for the Mr. but perfect for sharing with your cheese-loving
sweetheart as well.
Ingredients
½ pound of 85/15 ground beef
Garlic pepper
Sea salt
3 pieces of thick-sliced bacon
2 slices American cheese
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices of Texas toast, buttered on one side
Mayo or Miracle Whip
Directions
Place ground beef in a bowl, season well with garlic pepper,
mix it up with your hands and repeat until it’s well seasoned throughout.
Form into a patty and return to fridge.
Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Place Texas toast, buttered side down, on a foil-lined cookie
sheet. Add 1 slice of each type of cheese to each slice of bread.
Add hamburger patty to griddle and sprinkle lightly with sea
salt. Cook 5- 6- minutes or until well-seared and flip. Cook another 6- to 8-
minutes or until desired doneness. (Cooking time will vary based on thickness
of patty.)
Place cookie sheet in the oven and cook about 10 minutes.
Then crack the door and set oven to broil for 1-3 minutes to finish it off. The
cheese should be very melty, but not brown.
While the hamburger and bread is cooking, prepare the bacon
according to package directions.
Place the hamburger patty on one piece of bread. Top with
mayo and bacon and add second piece.
The Mr.’s looked like this:
