These Award Winning Grilled Cheese Burgers are a mouthwatering delight that combines the goodness of a classic burger with the cheesy comfort of a grilled cheese sandwich. The special sauce adds a tangy kick to elevate your burger experience.

Ingredients: 4 hamburger patties. 8 slices of your favorite cheese. 8 slices of thick-cut bacon. 4 hamburger buns. 2 tablespoons butter. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 1/4 cup ketchup. 1/4 cup sliced pickles. 1/4 cup diced onions. 1 teaspoon mustard. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Set your grill or griddle on the stove to medium-high heat. On both sides, season the burger patties with salt and pepper. A medium-rare burger takes about 4 to 5 minutes on each side after being put on the grill. Just before they're done, add two slices of cheese to each patty and let them melt. In a different pan or on the grill, cook the bacon until it's crispy while the patties are cooking. Put the mustard, pickles, diced onions, mayonnaise, and ketchup in a small bowl. Mix them together to make the special sauce. Take the patties and bacon off the grill when they are done. Sandwich buns should have butter on the inside. Toast them on the grill for one to two minutes, until they're golden brown. Put a cheese-covered patty on the bottom half of each bun to make the burgers. Place two pieces of crispy bacon on top of the patty. Use a lot of the special sauce to cover the top half of the bun. Close the burger up and serve right away.
