Ingredients

Burgers

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
  • 6 slices cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
  • 1 tbsp burger rub or favorite seasoning
  • 4 sesame seed burger buns
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray

Toppings

  • 4 slices tomato
  • Fresh or pickled jalapeño slices
  • Crispy onion rings (homemade or store-bought)
  • Your favorite BBQ sauce

Baconnaise Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp mustard
  • ½ lb crispy bacon, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose rub (or BBQ seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

Start by frying your bacon until crispy. Set it aside, chop it finely, and reserve for the Baconnaise sauce.


Step 2: Make the Stuffed Patties

  1. Divide the beef into equal portions.
  2. Form two thin patties for each burger.
  3. Place cheese in the center of one patty, then cover with the second patty. Seal edges tightly so the cheese stays inside.
  4. Season generously on both sides.

Step 3: Toast the Buns

Spread mayonnaise on the cut sides of your burger buns. Toast face-down on a griddle or skillet until golden. This gives them a buttery flavor and prevents sogginess.


Step 4: Cook the Burgers

Cook the stuffed patties low and slow on a griddle, cast iron skillet, or grill. Flip carefully to keep the cheese sealed in. Cook until the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F.


Step 5: Make the Baconnaise Sauce

Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, all-purpose rub, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir in the chopped crispy bacon. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic to taste.


Step 6: Build Your Burger

  1. Spread Baconnaise sauce on the bottom bun.
  2. Add a slice of tomato.
  3. Place your cheesy stuffed burger patty on top.
  4. Drizzle with BBQ sauce.
  5. Add crispy onion rings and jalapeños.
  6. Top with more Baconnaise sauce and the toasted bun.

Grab some fries on the side and prepare for the ultimate burger bite!


Tips for Success

  • Don’t press down on the patties while cooking — you’ll squeeze out the juices and cheese.
  • If you want an extra melty center, use shredded cheese inside.
  • For heat lovers, swap jalapeños for pickled habaneros or add hot sauce to the Baconnaise.
