Ingredients
1 1/3 lbs 80/20 ground beef
2 Tbsp cooking oil
8 strips thick-cut smoked bacon
4 oz Kinder’s Gold BBQ Sauce
4 lettuce, tomato, and onion sets (LTO)
4 cheddar cheese slices
4 each brioche burger buns
Instructions
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of Kinder's All Purpose Seasoning on each side of the patties, ensuring they are well-coated.
Cover the seasoned patties and let them marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
While the patties are marinating, wash and slice your lettuce, tomatoes, and onions for the LTO sets. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to assemble the burgers.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Arrange the bacon strips on a lined sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Heat up your grill to medium heat.
Place the patties on the grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side. Aim for an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a perfectly juicy burger.
During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the grill lid until the cheese melts.
Once the cheese is melted, remove the patties from the grill. Lay 2 strips of bacon on top of each cheeseburger, then place the patty on the bottom half of the brioche bun. Drizzle some Kinder's Gold BBQ Sauce over the bacon, add the prepared LTO set, and finally, place the top of the bun on.
Finishing move: Enjoy your flavorful BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers with a side of crispy French fries and a refreshing pilsner!
