Preparing the Patties
To start your Original Crispy BBQ Bacon Stacker® Burger Box, select high-quality ground beef, ideally with an 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio. This ensures juicy and flavorful patties. In a large bowl, season the beef with salt and pepper. Gently mix the seasonings into the meat without overworking it. Form four equal patties, making them slightly larger than the buns to allow for shrinkage while cooking. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty, which helps them cook evenly.
Cooking the Bacon
Next, it’s time to cook the bacon until it’s perfectly crispy. In a large skillet, arrange the bacon slices in a single layer. Cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, usually around 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. This crispy bacon will add a savory crunch to each burger, enhancing the overall flavor profile of your meal.
Grilling the Burgers
Now, prepare your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill, preheat it for about 10 minutes. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill or in the pan, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt beautifully. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safety.
Toasting the Buns
While the patties finish cooking, turn your attention to the buns. Slice each burger bun in half and brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Place them on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown and crispy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Toasting the buns not only adds flavor but also helps prevent them from becoming soggy when loaded with toppings and sauces.
Assembling the Burger
Once the patties and buns are ready, it’s time to assemble your burgers. Start with the bottom half of the toasted bun. Place a cheesy burger patty on top, followed by two slices of crispy bacon. Add a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce over the bacon, allowing it to soak in slightly. Next, layer on fresh lettuce, slices of tomato, and onion for added crunch and flavor. Finally, top it off with pickles and the top half of the bun, pressing down gently to secure all the ingredients.
Serving the Box
For a complete meal experience, consider serving your burgers in a fun, casual style. Use a sturdy box or platter to arrange each burger neatly. Pair the burgers with sides like crispy fries or onion rings for a true fast-food feel. You can also include extra BBQ sauce, ketchup, and mustard on the side for dipping. This presentation not only looks appealing but also invites everyone to enjoy their meal at their own pace.
Adding Side Options
To enhance the feast, think about additional side options that complement the burgers. Coleslaw is a refreshing choice that adds crunch and a touch of sweetness. Alternatively, consider making a simple salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette. For a heartier option, serve seasoned potato wedges or sweet potato fries. These sides create a well-rounded meal that everyone can enjoy, making your BBQ Bacon Stacker® Burger Box a hit.
