Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 burger buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce and tomato for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the bacon by cooking it in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt and pepper. Gently mix and form the meat into 4 equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging during grilling.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400-450°F. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place burger patties on the hot grill and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the burgers and cook an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
- While burgers are cooking, slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and brush with olive oil. Place avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for 2-3 minutes to create nice grill marks and warm them through.
- During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese to each burger if desired, and lightly toast the burger buns on the grill.
- Remove burgers and avocados from the grill. Let burgers rest for 2-3 minutes to retain juices.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the grilled patty on the toasted bun, top with grilled avocado slices, crumbled bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Grilled Avocado Bacon Burger.
Tips
- Meat Matters: Use ground beef with a fat content around 80/20 for the juiciest, most flavorful patties.
- Grill Temperature is Key: Ensure your grill is preheated to 400-450°F for that perfect sear and beautiful grill marks.
- Avocado Grilling Hack: Choose slightly firm avocados and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Bacon Perfection: Cook bacon until crisp but not burnt for the best texture and flavor in your burger.
- Resting is Crucial: Always let your burger rest 2-3 minutes after grilling to retain those delicious, juicy internal flavors.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add your favorite cheese or special sauce to make this recipe uniquely yours!
