> that is indeed bacon
oh yeah? you want me to step it up a notch?

crispy bacon.

70/30 ground chuck...

flip

immediately apply two slices of 100% real American cheese.

I went to the deli and specifically had it sliced. It's not Kraft singles, it's not "processed cheese product". It's American cheese and it has a different texture and a better taste. Also it crisps up like real cheese.

lol.... why the fuck would it be 85/15?? That's way too lean bro... im not trying to eat dry burgers.

80/20 is standard ground beef... 85/15 is lean. You want MORE fat, not less. 70/30 at the very minimum, although best ones ive made were 60/40!

In-n-Out's meat is 60/40, btw.

Oh, I was about to judge you for using Kraft singles, but since you're using actual American cheese from a deli, your bacon cheeseburger is a classy meal that I respect you for making

Thank you kind sir, my preemptive cheese defense will live on forever in litigation textbooks.

and in and out has shit burgers.
>paying to burn it away

oil doesn't burn, it renders... but as it renders, it makes the burger jucier... you realize that "juice" is just "fat"... right? If you had a 0% fat burger, it would be like eating carpet. The fat is what gives the meat's protein strands flavor.

Anyway, just give it the pepsi test dude. I didn't read about it first then try it, i just accidentally stumbled onto it. It was 70/30 and it was on sale, and the burger came out moist, juicy, just like food porn.

Try it man. Stop listening to different people arguing and just try it. Or maybe you prefer leaner meat? I don't know how anyone can eat a grilled chicken breast, for example... bleh. So dry.

no.

It's still processed cheese. That's how they get that smooth texture. Anything that leaves something less curd-like than cheddar is considered processing.
