Grill a great burger this summer with our super easy recipe for a Black & Bleu Bacon Burger that is packed, and I do mean packed, full of flavor. A great burger always starts with high-quality ground beef that is a little higher in fat content, like 80/20. Grilling releases the fat and if you purchase a ground beef with too little fat, you’ll end up with a tough patty that’s not juicy. Who has time for that?

We partnered with the Washington State Beef Commission to bring you easy-to-make recipes pairing beef with fresh spicy deliciousness. Make sure you check out the Interactive Butcher Counter on wabeef.org to learn about choosing beef cuts.
