Burger recommendations

I have a dilemma and I probably won't get an answer before starting but I'll try anyways. I have an 80/20 mix and I planned on doing bacon cheeseburgers. My first thought was to grill the bacon along side the burgers since I really don't feel like frying it separately. Plus I'll already be grilling onions. Then I thought about just chopping it up and incorporating it into the patties themselves.

What would you do? I can't decide if I just want the bacon taste or the crunch on top of the burger to go with it.

 

Incorporate.

 

Well that sure was fast lol

 

cook bacon in the oven on a double broiler.
gets crisper in the oven.

 

I would NOT incorporate raw bacon inside a burger. It's one thing to eat a medium rare burger, it's quite another to eat medium rare bacon. Cook it separately.

 

Well my wife informed me she wanted it separate. If I wouldn't have asked yall I would have got the normal response of "I don't care".

Got the chimney loaded with charcoal getting lit as we speak. A nice night to enjoy a pipe.

 

You married up.

 

Looks good (the food that is)

I guess you're someplace warm enough to grill outside tonite.

 

I've never tried grilling pickles, I'll have to give it a try sometime.

 

Me either lol. I figured if you can deep fry anything than you should be able to grill anything. I just wanted to see how it turned out.

 

There is proper way to incorporate. Cook the bacon until it is done. Then incorporate into the meat.

 

I was thinking since the bacon had been cured it wouldn't really matter. I've done it before without cooking it and never had any ill effects. Lucky?

 

I think lucky is the case.

 

Sometimes I cheat and just get the precooked bacon bits and use them in the mix. Real bacon bits and not soy substitute bits. It gives the flavor with less work.

 

I might have to try that. Grilling the bacon was a horrible idea without something to catch the grease. Threw my cooking time way off but it all ended up okay minus the pickles. Death by bacon flames!

 

Out kicked his coverage....

 

If you like jalapenos, try grilling them wrapped in bacon.

, Google "atomic buffalo turds" (I don't name 'em) for an absolutely outstanding recipe.

 

LOL!!!!!!
