Ingredients
- For the burgers:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of cheese (your choice)
- 4 burger buns
- For the bacon:
- 6 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start by preparing the bacon. Place the bacon slices on the Blackstone grill over medium heat. Cook until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- While the bacon is cooking, sprinkle the brown sugar and black pepper over the bacon. Let it caramelize slightly, which will take about 2 minutes.
- Once the bacon is done, remove it from the grill and let it cool on a paper towel.
- Now, it's time to make the burgers. Form the ground beef into four equal balls, about 4 ounces each.
- Heat the Blackstone grill to high heat. Place the beef balls on the grill and press down firmly with a spatula to create a flat patty.
- Season the patties with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side.
- Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on each one. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your liking.
- Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, until golden brown.
- Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on each bun and topping it with a slice of candied bacon.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious creation!
- Cook Notes and Beginner Tips
- Make sure not to overwork the ground beef when forming the balls. This keeps the burgers juicy.
- Use a spatula to press the patties down firmly for that signature smash burger texture.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
- Feel free to add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles.
