Gourmet Bacon Cheeseburgers

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-low heat. Lightly drizzle oil onto the griddle and spread evenly.

2. 2

   Place the bacon on the griddle and press it flat with a griddle press. Flip early and often until cooked to your desired crispness. Move bacon to the side of the griddle to keep warm.

3. 3

   Divide the ground beef into four 8-ounce portions and form into burger patties.

4. 4

   Increase the griddle heat to high.

5. 5

   Season one side of each patty with Blackstone SPG. Place the patties seasoned-side down on the griddle, then season the second side.

6. 6

   Add the diced onions to a lightly oiled section of the griddle and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

7. 7

   Flip the burgers once the first side is well seared.

8. 8

   Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides of the buns.

9. 9

   Reduce the griddle heat to medium as the burgers finish cooking. When nearly done, top each burger with one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, one slice of Swiss cheese, and two slices of bacon. Add a small splash of water to the griddle and close the lid for about 1 minute to melt the cheese.

10. 10

    Place the buns cut-side down on the griddle and toast until lightly golden.

11. 11

    Assemble the burgers: place lettuce on the bottom bun, add the burger patty, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and the top bun.

    Serve immediately and enjoy!
