The Ultimate Bacon Wrapped Cheeseburger. Up your burger game to championship level with these amazing, smokey bacon wrapped, juicy beef burgers.
So what makes a bacon wrapped cheeseburger ultimate? The answer is simply the best ingredients that come together to make something spectacular.
If you can, have your butcher coarse grind some chuck roast or sirloin to make the best burgers. This makes a remarkable difference to the quality and flavour of the final burger.
Once you start this practice, you will likely never look back. I've been grinding my own chuck/blade roasts for many years for burgers and ground beef. I like a coarser grind, for a meatier texture.
The best thick cut smoked bacon is also essential. Thick cut is important because it will better protect the juicy burger during the longer cooking time and deeply season it with delicious smokey bacon flavour.
I like to grill these more slowly and at a lower heat than conventional burgers to render the bacon more and to allow its flavour to more deeply penetrate the beef.
Your favourite toppings and condiments should be you choice to make the burger you like best, but some fresh tomato and lettuce are almost essential to create here what essentially becomes a burger BLT!
