Bacon Cheddar Loaded Cheeseburger

This juicy burger is loaded with crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and all the fixings, making for a satisfying meal that's perfect for any barbecue or cookout.

Instructions

1. 1

   In a pan over medium-high heat, add the bacon, and cook until crispy. Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop.

2. 2

   In a bowl, add the bacon, cream cheese, green onions, and shredded cheddar. Mix well.

3. 3

   Divide the ground beef into four even portions and shape into balls. Form a well into the center of each, large enough for the cheese mixture.

4. 4

   Place a quarter of the cheese mixture into the center of each ball, and enclose inside the ground beef. Gently press each ball into a patty shape, and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burgers and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side.

6. 6

   Flip the burgers, and cook for 2 minutes. Add a slice of cheese on each burger and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the burger is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Remove burgers from pan, and place on top a toasted burger bun. Top with condiments of your choice.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
