BLT Burgers with Spicy Mayonnaise

I shook up our ordinary hamburgers by making BLT Burgers with Spicy Mayonnaise! 

We fire up the grill nearly every weekend throughout the summer and burgers are a frequent entree. For a change of pace, I fried up some bacon and whisked together a gourmet mayo for a scrumptious meal featuring Bacon Burgers.

Why You Should Make this Bacon Burger Recipe

• Summer is the perfect time for bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches. With juicy garden tomatoes, they can’t be beat. I took a cue from our favorite summer sandwich and created these BLT Burgers.
• With a double dose of bacon and sriracha mayonnaise, these are a cut above your typical burgers.
• Finely minced or ground bacon is mixed into the ground beef and the usual toppings, including bacon, are piled up high. Nick was my first taste tester, but I had to nix the spicy mayonnaise for plain mayo for the hubby! 

Tips for Making and Grilling Burgers

If you’re new to making your own hamburger patties or grilling, there are a few things to remember before tossing them on the grill.

• PRO-Tip: Buy 80/20 ground beef. The extra fat keeps the burgers moist.
• Do not compress the hamburger as you shape it into patties. Use a light touch.
• Use about 6 ounces per patty, make them at least as wide as your bun, with the center slightly thinner than the perimeter.
• Aim for burgers about 3/4-inches thick.
• Season both sides with kosher salt and pepper right before tossing on the grill. (Note: these burgers have both bacon and Worcestershire sauce added to the ground beef so no salt is needed).
• Make sure your grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
• Grill with the lid on, flipping at least once.
• If making cheeseburgers, add the cheese during the last minute of grilling. Replace the lid and let the cheese melt.
• Check the temperature of your burgers before serving. Note that raw hamburger may contain e-coli bacteria which can cause food poisoning.  It is not killed until burgers are cooked to 160º, which is well done. So be cautious when serving young children, the elderly, or anyone with a compromised immune system.
