Grilled Roast Beef Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe: Step-by-Step Guide
Introduction
Hey there, folks! Today is a special day for me as I’m celebrating the 300th video on my YouTube channel. To mark this milestone, I’m going to cook up a classic American-style burger. And not just any burger, but a mouthwatering Grilled Roast Beef Bacon Cheeseburger, BBQ Pit Boys style. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into this flavorful and juicy recipe!
Ingredients
To get started on our Grilled Roast Beef Bacon Cheeseburger, here’s what we’ll need:
- Sliced roast beef
- Ground shoulder meat
- Cheese (your choice)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic
- Bacon
Step 1: Smoke the Bacon
First things first, we need to smoke our bacon to infuse it with that delicious smoky flavor. Preheat your grill or smoker to about 225°F (107°C). Lay out the bacon on the grill grates and let it smoke for around one hour. Make sure to keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Step 2: Mix the Bacon and Ground Shoulder Meat
Once the bacon is perfectly smoked, it’s time to mix it with the ground shoulder meat. In a bowl, combine the bacon (crumbled into small pieces), ground shoulder meat, salt, pepper, and garlic. Get your hands in there and mix everything thoroughly. Remember, the secret to a great burger lies in the seasoning.
Step 3: Shape the Burger Patties
Now that we have our flavorful mixture ready, it’s time to shape the burger patties. Get a handful of the mixture and form it into a patty shape. Make sure the patties are of even thickness so that they cook evenly on the grill. The size of the patties is up to you, depending on how hungry you are feeling!
Step 4: Grill the Burger Patties
Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 350°F (175°C). Place the burger patties onto the grill grates and let them cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. As the patties cook, you’ll notice the aroma of the roast beef and bacon wafting through the air. It’s a true delight for the senses!
Step 5: Add the Cheese
No bacon cheeseburger is complete without a generous amount of cheese. Once the patties are cooked to perfection, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Close the lid of the grill and let the cheese melt for a minute or two. The ooey-gooey melted cheese will add an extra layer of flavor to your already delicious burger.
Step 6: Assemble and Enjoy
With all the elements ready and waiting, it’s time to assemble your Grilled Roast Beef Bacon Cheeseburger. Grab your favorite burger bun and place a patty on the bottom half. Top it with a few slices of roast beef and any other toppings of your choice, such as lettuce, tomatoes, or pickles. Finally, cover it with the top bun and take a big, satisfying bite.
Congratulations! You’ve just created a masterpiece in burger form! The combination of smoky bacon, flavorful roast beef, and melted cheese is simply unbeatable.
