The Art of Beer Canned Bacon Burgers: A Recipe to Try at Home

Today on barbecuepitboys.com, we're cooking up some beer canned bacon burgers that are sure to impress your friends and family. Our star ingredient is ground chuck burger, which is made from about 80-85% lean meat and 20-15% fat. This ratio is crucial for achieving the perfect balance of flavor and texture in our burgers.

To start, we're going to form three-quarter pound meatballs, ranging from half a pound to three-quarters of a pound each. These meatballs will be the foundation of our beer canned bacon burgers, and they'll work perfectly with our recipe. Now, who's your favorite beer can on this? We want full cans of beer for this recipe, as using less than a full can won't provide enough moisture to help form the burger.

The next step is to take those meatballs and push them down onto the board, forming them into perfect spheres. Then, we're going to begin forming our burgers around the beer cans. It's essential to use a cold burger for this recipe, as if it gets too warm, you'll have trouble shaping it correctly. Now, let's wrap some pork belly bacon around these burgers, because this bacon is going to keep everything together like glue.

Now that we've got our burgers wrapped in bacon, it's time to get some comments from the food police – just kidding! But seriously, folks, using regular cut bacon will work too, and you can always experiment with different types of bacon to find your favorite. And remember, when removing the can from the burger, you'll want to avoid any excess moisture that might be added by the beer.

After we've got our burgers wrapped in bacon, it's time for some stuffing! We've got beef hash, mushrooms, grilled onions, green and red bell peppers, fresh chopped tomatoes, meat chili – the list goes on. And don't forget to add some cheese, like shredded sharp cheddar or chunks of pepper jack, because you can never have too much cheese in our opinion.

Now that we've got all the fixings for our beer canned bacon burgers, it's time to get them ready for the grill. We're setting up indirect heat, so our burgers will cook slowly and evenly. And remember, folks, don't forget to grab a cold drink – like beer, of course! It's going to take about an hour to cook these babies at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

And there you have it, folks – our very first beer canned bacon burger recipe. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and that you'll come back for more recipes in the future. Until next time, stay tuned and keep on grilling!
