Ingredients
1 pound bacon
1 pound ground beef
4 slices white sharp cheddar
4 slices yellow sharp cheddar
4 slices white mild horseradish cheddar
4 slices yellow mild cheddar (Try sweet red cheddar if you can find it!)
4 buns
Green leaf lettuce
1 medium white onion, sliced
Directions
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan, reserving the fat.
- Rip up 1 slice of the white sharp cheddar and 1 slice of the yellow sharp cheddar and fold into the middle of each burger. Form 4 patties around the cheese. Season the beef with the salt and pepper.
- Cook the patties in the bacon fat. Before they finish, melt a slice of the horseradish cheddar and a slice of the yellow mild cheddar on each burger. Cover the pan or tent to help the cheese melt.
- BUILD YOUR BURGER: Bottom bun, lettuce, cheeseburger, bacon slices, onions, top bun. A gratuitous number of cheddars? No. Five would be crazy. But what are you going to do, three? No. Four's your number.
