Are you looking for a delicious and easy way to enjoy the summer with your family and friends? Do you want to experience the authentic taste of American barbecue, a tradition that dates back to the colonial times and has evolved into four distinct styles across the country? If so, you will love this recipe for All American Grilled Burger, a simple yet satisfying dish that showcases the best of American cuisine.

 Barbecue, or BBQ for short, is more than just a way of cooking meat over an indirect flame. It is a cultural phenomenon that reflects the diversity and history of the United States. From the Caribbean roots of the original barbacoa technique, to the influence of European immigrants and settlers, to the regional variations of sauces and seasonings, barbecue is a rich and complex culinary art that can be enjoyed by anyone.

One of the most popular and iconic forms of barbecue is the grilled burger, a staple of backyard parties and picnics. The grilled burger is made with ground beef, seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce, and shaped into patties that are cooked over a hot grill. The burgers are then topped with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickle, mayonnaise, and mustard, and served on toasted buns. The result is a juicy and flavorful burger that will make your mouth water.

 To make this recipe, you will need an outdoor grill, a grill that can handle high temperatures and create a smoky flavor. You can use either an electric grill or a gas grill, depending on your preference and availability. However, if you want to achieve the best results, you should invest in a high-quality outdoor grill from Summerset or Fire Magic, the leading brands of American outdoor kitchen and accessories. These grills are designed to provide you with the ultimate grilling experience, with features such as stainless steel construction, infrared burners, rotisserie kits, and LED lighting. You can find these grills and more at Fireplace TRENDS, your online store for outdoor living.

Ingredients for 4 burgers:

• ¼ cup of soft white breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon of water
• 1 tablespoon of milk
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder or finely chopped or grated onion
• ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• 1 ¼ pound ground beef
• 4 sandwich rolls, divided and toasted
• 4 slices of American cheese
• 8 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy
• Mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomato and pickle slices to serve

Method of preparing the dish:

• In a large bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, water and milk and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Add seasoned salt, onion powder and pepper and mix well.
• Add the ground beef and mix gently with your hands until combined. Don't overmix or the burgers will be tough.
• Form the meat into 4 equal patties, about ¾ inch thick. Lightly press your thumb into the center of each cutlet to create an indentation. This will prevent the burgers from swelling while cooking.
• Preheat your Summerset or Fire Magic gas or electric grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
• Place the burgers on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 50°F, which means they are well done. If you want to add cheese, place a slice on each burger during the last minute of baking and wait until it melts slightly.
• Transfer the burgers to a plate and set aside for 5 minutes before serving.
• Before serving, spread the lower halves of the baked rolls with mayonnaise and mustard. Place lettuce, tomato and pickled cucumber slices on top. Add the burgers and bacon strips and cover with the top halves of the buns.

Enjoy your American grilled burger!
