Bacon Cheeseburger


Ingredients:

1� pounds ground chuck
8 bacon slices, cut in half crosswise
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 slices cheddar, Swiss, or American cheese


Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, arrange a rack in the middle, and
place a baking sheet on the rack.

2. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions.

3. Shape each portion into an even �-inch-thick patty that's about 1 inch wider
in diameter than the hamburger buns.

4. Using your thumb, make a shallow 1�-inch-wide indentation in the center of
each patty.

5. Place the bacon in a large frying pan. Cook over medium heat, turning once,
until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes.

6. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set it aside.

7. Remove about half of the bacon fat from the pan and set it aside.

8. Season the hamburger patties generously on both sides so that you can see a
thin layer of salt and pepper.

9. Return the pan to medium heat, place 2 of the patties in the pan
indentation-side up, and let them cook undisturbed in the bacon fat until
browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.

10. Flip the patties over, place 2 slices of cheese on each, and continue
cooking until the patties are just slightly pink in the center for medium and
the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes more.

11. Transfer to the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Wipe out the pan
with paper towels, add the reserved bacon fat, and cook the remaining 2
patties.

12. When all of the burgers are ready, place a patty on each bun bottom, top
with 4 of the bacon pieces, garnish as desired, and cover with a bun top.Bacon
