Ingredients

For the burger filling:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 cheddar cheese slices
• 4 strips crispy bacon

For assembling:

• 4 soft sub rolls (or hamburger buns)
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tomato (sliced)
• 1 small onion (sliced)
• Ketchup (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Burger Patties

1. In a large bowl, season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Form the beef mixture into four evenly sized patties, pressing them slightly in the center to ensure they cook evenly.
3. Cook the patties in a large skillet or on a grill over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

1. While the patties cook, heat a separate pan over medium heat.
2. Add the bacon strips to the pan and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Step 3: Toast the Buns

1. Slice the sub rolls in half and toast them lightly in the same skillet or on a grill for 1–2 minutes, until golden brown. This adds extra flavor and helps prevent the buns from getting soggy.

Step 4: Assemble the Subs

1. Place the cooked burger patties onto the bottom half of each toasted sub roll.
2. Add a crispy strip of bacon on top of each patty, followed by shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and onion rings.
3. Optionally, drizzle with ketchup or your favorite sauce for extra flavor.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll and serve immediately, either as-is or with a side of crispy fries or chips.

Tips for Perfect Bacon Cheeseburger Subs

• Customize your toppings: You can add pickles, mustard, or even barbecue sauce to suit your preferences.
• Ensure crispy bacon: Cook the bacon until it’s golden and crispy, as it adds the perfect crunch to the subs.
• Use fresh buns: Freshly toasted sub rolls or soft hamburger buns give the sandwich the best texture.
• Seasoning your beef: Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the beef mixture to suit your taste, adding a little extra kick with chili powder or paprika.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair these delicious subs with a side of homemade fries or potato chips for a complete meal.
• Serve with a cold beverage like soda, iced tea, or even a milkshake for an indulgent treat.
• You can also try adding coleslaw or pickles on the side for some added crunch and flavor.
