Cheeseburger with bacon and frisco bread

Bacon Cheeseburger on Frisco Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juicier burgers)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 slices cheddar or American cheese
• 8 slices Frisco bread (or Texas toast or sourdough, for similar flavor)
• 4 tbsp butter, softened
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp mustard
• 1 small tomato, sliced
• 4 leaves of lettuce
• 4 pickle slices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
2. Make the Burger Patties:
   • Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than the bread (they’ll shrink while cooking).
   • Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Burger Patties:
   • In the same skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to help the cheese melt.
4. Toast the Frisco Bread:
   • Spread butter on one side of each slice of Frisco bread. In a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, toast the buttered side of the bread until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Make the Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until well combined.
6. Assemble the Burgers:
   • Spread a layer of the sauce on the toasted side of 4 Frisco bread slices. Place a cheeseburger patty on each, then top with crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, lettuce, and a pickle slice if desired. Add the remaining slice of Frisco bread, toasted side facing the ingredients.
7. Serve:
   • Cut the burgers in half, if desired, and serve warm with fries, onion rings, or a side salad.

Enjoy your indulgent bacon cheeseburger on deliciously toasted Frisco bread!
