This Grilled Cheese Double Bacon Cheeseburger is loaded with cheese and bacon all between TWO Grilled Cheese sandwiches used as buns.
For as long as I can remember we just drove past it.
A cute little store that I think was once a Taco Bell.
Then one day we decided to try it, Nick’s Jr. in Everett, WA (if you are ever in the area, I highly recommend).
They were family owned, made Greek butter cookies (though rarely as the mother does it when she feels like it…I buy three dozen usually), and their own sauces.
It’s that kind of place.
There was plenty to choose from that first time but then I saw GCBC and thought what’s that?
They informed me it was a bacon cheeseburger that uses TWO grilled cheeses as buns.
Ummm?
WHAT?
Ok, sign me up for that.
The owner talked about other stuff but I don’t remember all I could think about was that burger.
The only disappointment was in me, that I could not finish it.
Great thing about that though, is that you get to have the other half the next day.
So when Kita of Girl Carnivore said hey, do you want to participate again in Burger Month, I knew that it was time to finally make a home version of one of my favorite burgers.
In case you forgot I made a Cobb Salad Burger last year and the year before that was Peanut Butter Bourbon Bacon Jam Pimento Cheese Potato Chip Sliders.
Mine I made a double, because why not?
It’s Burger Month.
My Grilled Cheese Double Bacon Burger also has 6 pieces of bacon, because again, why not?
You can add any condiments you want.
Most like raw tomato but I’m allergic so I try not to eat that. 🙂
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀

Huh. The best topping for my epic burger? I’m not very adventurous, so I’m going to have to go with avocado.

Good Lord, this is the BEST thing I’ve seen all week. There is a time and a place for calorie-counting, and making/eating this bad boy is not it. Sometimes you just gotta live a little. *o*
For an ultimate (yet not super crazy) burger, I’d go with bacon, avocado, and a fried egg. With lots of sharp cheddar cheese, ketchup, and red onions. Aw yeah.
Grace says
Goodness! This could feel like a real heavy meal! Burrrp. Thanks!
