I subscribe to a wonderful food blog written by Conor Bofin called One Man’s Meat. In his most recent post he challenges Americans to a burger challenge. His post indicates that here in the US we eat 40,000,000,000 burgers a year! He doubts that we have the best burgers and challenges us with his “Donegal Beef and Cashel Blue Cheese Burger.”
Well, Conor, here is my incredible Bacon Cheddar Burger! This is not your ordinary burger topped with bacon and cheese then slapped on a bun! It is an easy burger to make with simple ingredients! So let’s head on into the kitchen!
We have 5 simple ingredients! They are:
1 1/2# ground sirloin
1 cup of thick sliced smoked peppered bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup of Tillamook Medium Cheddar, grated
3 TBS of a good quality, creamy horseradish
2 tsp. garlic powder
I love peppered bacon!

Here is a gratuitous shot of all the ingredients.
Simple ingredients
An hour before cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator and shape into burgers.
Lovely bits of bacon and cheddar abound!
I like serving these with oven fries so I get these going while the burgers sit. Get your grill nice and hot, and start cooking! Five to seven minutes per side should do it and then serve them up! Check out the lovely bits of bacon and melted cheese that you will experience in every bite!
One cheesy bacon burger!
Such a lovely burger with excellent, simple ingredients! This is one heck of a good burger! I challenge you Conor to try this one! I would try your recipe but suffer from allergies and cannot handle the blue!

i love it with leftover roasted brisket or pork belly
OMG, I feel like I’m gaining weight just reading your posts! Hubby is already begging me to make this one for him. 🙂
It is really a wonderful burger! Try placing this on a bun and topping it with some guacamole!
Oh my! 🙂
They really do look delcious and I reckon old Conor has a culinary fight on his hands!
They were really good, and better as leftovers! I took on the challenge with Conor! Will you?
40 Billion burgers—OMG! That’s 134 burgers per person per year, which is 2.5 burgers a week. Guess I’m not the average burger eater. Anyway – this recipe does look superb. Maybe my burger intake will increase after trying this recipe.
I love love love the concept of a Bacon Cheddar Burger Barb
Great as leftovers too! Very tasty! Maybe I will see this burger in one of your posts?
You never know Barb 🙂
Ha ha! I love it Barb. Great creativity and an awesome way to get the cheesy taste throughout the meat. I think I’ll have to admit that perhaps only 39,999,999,999 are inferior to my creation. This looks beautiful. Thanks for playing.
My very best as always,
Conor
Hee hee! I had a leftover burger today for lunch – excellent! I am glad that we got to play! We actually take down the numbers on the per person consumption of burgers, eating only maybe one per month each! I think the 40 billion is due to those folks who are hooked on fast food. We do not go to Mickey D’s, B King, Jack’s….Give me a burger joint that makes a great burger and I will have one! References required! 🙂 I am happy that you enjoyed my post! My best to you my friend! – B
I’m with you on the blue cheese so I vote for your bacon and cheddar burger. I put the brakes on at Pepper Bacon picture. Great looking bacon. Burger patty looks tender, moist and delicious. Thank you for sharing the link to Conor Bofin’s “One Man’s Meat” blog. You and Conor have one immediate thing in common—great photos!
Thank you Roy for the comment! Conor’s food photos are much better than mine…that is the difference between an accountant and someone who works in marketing! He actually has some great recipes and I have been following him since he started blogging. Are you going to try this burger? You can use a regular bacon…if so, let me know how this turns out!
The pics are sooo yummy! Thanks for sharing!
