Instructions
Crafting your Monster Burgers is simple when you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat the Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
3. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 5 portions and shape each into a large burger patty, about 1 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing up while cooking.
4. Cook the Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (160°F for medium).
5. Toast the Buns: In the last few minutes of cooking, place the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster to toast lightly.
6. Assemble the Burgers: Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on a toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your favorite condiments.
7. Serve Immediately: Serve the burgers hot, directly off the grill or skillet for an enticing experience.
These easy-to-follow steps will ensure you create delicious Monster Burgers that are satisfying and unforgettable!
