For these Bacon Cheeseburgers, the bacon is crumbled and cooked inside the burger. The result is a moist and juicy bacon cheeseburger.

Ingredients:

* 3 slices pre-cooked bacon
* 1-1/2 pounds 80%-85% lean ground beef
* 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
* 1/4 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
* 1 tsp. kosher salt
* 1 tsp. canola oil
* 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:

1. Re-heat bacon according to package directions. Drain and crumble into a large mixing bowl.

2. Prepare grill or heat a grill pan on the stove over medium heat.

3. Add ground beef, garlic powder and black pepper to the crumbled bacon.

4. Using your hands, mix gently, and form into 6 patties, being careful not to press or pack the beef down too much (you will lose moisture that way).

5. Sprinkle the salt over the patties on both sides.

6. Dip a paper towel in the oil, and rub on the grill or grill pan. Add the patties, being careful not to crowd the pan.

7. Cook 3-4 minutes. Flip. Top each burger with shredded cheese. Cook another 3-4 minutes until burgers are cooked through.

Serve on toasted buns.

Grilling Perfect Burgers is easy if you follow these simple tips:

* Use beef with the right amount of fat. I recommend 80% to 85% lean ground beef. The fat is what makes your burgers juicy.

* I also recommend grass-fed beef, if you can find it (Whole Foods carries it; you can also find it at farmer's markets). Grass-fed beef not only tastes better, it's also leaner and has a better nutritional profile.

* If your ground beef is frozen, thaw completely in the refrigerator before using. Do not try to cook beef from a frozen state.

* To see if your burgers are done, check using an instant-read thermometer. Insert it in the side of the burger through to the middle. Burgers should be cooked to 160 degrees F.

* Color is not an indicator of whether or not your burgers are cooked thoroughly. Burgers that are brown inside may not be cooked to 160 degrees F, and burgers that are cooked through may still be pink inside.

* Handle the beef as little as possible while shaping the burgers. Overhandling results in toughness.

* Form patties that about 3/4-inch thick. Press your thumb in the middle of each patty to prevent it from bulging during cooking.

* Refrigerate your burgers while preparing the grill. Preheat the grill long enough to get it nice and hot, about 15 minutes should do it.

* Season the burgers with salt and pepper on the outside, just before grilling. I recommend Maldon Sea Salt. Its large crystals really bring out the flavor of the burgers. And by seasoning the outside of the burgers, the salt, which enhances the beef's flavor, will hit your mouth first.

* Place the burgers on the grill, and leave them there. Do not press down on the burgers during cooking.

* Flip once, after 3-6 minutes.

* Let your burgers rest at least 5 minutes before serving.
