A delicious and juicy burger recipe with a touch of bacon flavor.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then set aside. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat in a bowl and refrigerate.
Using chilled bacon fat in the burger mixture adds a unique flavor and helps bind the ingredients.
Soak the bread in milk for 5 minutes, then mash into a smooth paste.
Ensure the bread is fully soaked to create a smooth paste that blends well with the beef.
Combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic, bread paste, and chilled bacon fat in a bowl. Mix gently and form into 4 patties.
Avoid overmixing the beef mixture to keep the patties tender.
Preheat the grill to high heat. Cook the patties for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until desired doneness is reached.
Do not press down on the patties while grilling to retain their juices.
Serve the burgers on buns, topped with the cooked bacon and your favorite condiments.
Toast the buns on the grill for added flavor and texture.
