These Bacon Infused Burgers are no joke. The bacon is literally mixed in with the beef and it has has one of the most wonderful tastes to it.
These burgers taste amazing and go perfectly with any topping. My husband and I love grilling pineapple and putting it on, but my sister loves swiss cheese and mushrooms on hers.
They don’t take long to make and taste amazing. I love cooking at home because it’s healthier, cheaper, and grilled to your perfection and preferance. Enjoy your Bacon Infused Burger.

How to make Bacon Infused Burgers
- Cook the bacon until slightly chewy, but not crisp.
- Once the bacon has cooled, tear it into small pieces, about the size of a dime. I also like to dab my bacon with a paper towel because it’s a little greasy, and helps the bacon cool faster.
- Mix the bacon bits into the raw ground beef, sometimes it’s best to do this with your hands.
- Form the meat mixture into 6 equal size patties. I usually just try to eyeball it, grab a fistful of meat, and shape it. You may need to take some meat from other patties and reshape them to make them equal sizes.
- Place on grill, griddle, or pan flipping until desired doneness. (I like mine a little pink in the middle).
- Grill your pineapple, and glaze with honey, as cooking, if desired. This topping is totally optional, but we prefer it. Pineapple and meat were just made for each other.
- Once done, create your burger with all your favorite condiments and toppings.
Storing and Other Tips for this Bacon Burger
Store leftover hamburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up 4 days. Reheat on the grill.
For toppings we recommend red onion slice, lettuce, cheddar cheese, mayo, and barbecue sauce.
Grilling Pineapple
One of my favorite ways to grill pineapple is to first marinade it in a honey and brown sugar marinade. I use about 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Shake the pineapple slices, honey, and brown sugar in a bag until all the pineapple slices are evenly coated.
Then soak some wooden skewers in water for a few minutes and slide the marinated pineapple on them.
Grill them on low on the grill for about 4-5 minutes, flip them and grill for another 4-5.
I will also cook my pineapple in a pan as well. I just cook them on medium low until the edges begin to golden or go slightly black.
