Bacon Cheeseburgers with Pickled Peppers are the perfect burger dinner. For the life of me, I don’t understand why people go to restaurants for burgers. I think burgers are so easy to make at home, and there are so many different variations you can make. I have added a few delicious components to these burgers. First, I start with tender and flavorful ground chuck meat. Then, I season my meat with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

I cook the burgers in a cast iron skillet until they are brown on the outside and rare or well done on the inside, depending on how my guests like them. Then, I top the burgers with melted extra sharp cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and two special toppings. The first special topping is a Dijon mayonnaise. The second special topping is homemade pickled peppers. I serve these burgers on a buttery brioche bun.

The Equipment I Used

• A Cast Iron Skillet- In my opinion, this is the best pan for cooking burgers.
• An Instant Read Thermometer- I use this to test the temperature of my burgers.

The Ingredients Needed for Bacon Cheeseburgers with Pickled Peppers

• Ground Beef- I use ground chuck meat for this recipe. I think it’s the most flavorful ground beef. And, because of its high fat content, it stays moist and juicy.
• Brioche Buns- Of course, you can use any bun you like. But, I really love the buttery brioche buns.
• Red Peppers- I use red bell peppers for my pickled peppers.
• Rice Wine Vinegar- Use this to pickle the peppers. You could also use white vinegar. But, I prefer rice wine vinegar, because I feel it’s less strong.

How I Made My Burgers

• First, I roasted my peppers. While the peppers roasted in the oven, I made the Dijon mayonnaise, and prepared the rest of the ingredients.
• Next, I cooked the burgers in my cast iron skillet. We like our burgers well done, so I was careful to cook them until they were not at all pink inside.
• Finally, I assembled my burgers and served them.

We all love these Bacon Cheeseburgers with Pickled Peppers. All the toppings combine to make a truly delicious burger.
