With every three years new American neighbors a 'cook out next door' was a regular treat, especially on holidays and we were always invited. We've eaten (or tasted) the weirdest things , because not all the neighbors were very good cooks :D Once a neighbor told me "Americans do not cook, they nuke their food in the microwave".
But...hospitality was always top, food quantities super size and American party mood excellent! One of many good American habits we have hung taken on: put leftovers in a 'doggy bag' to present your guests with when they leave. Now we have very nice Dutch neighbors but we miss our American friends and neighbours! So glad there's the world wide web ;)
How to make an all American Bacon & Cheese Burger
Place all burger ingredients in a large bowl, stir until combined, season with sea salt & pepper.
Crumble the ground beef into the bowl, knead it and shape four generous patties.
BBQ the burgers 7-10 minutes each side to get nice dark stripes, the last 5 minutes melt on cheese.
Grill the buns briefly then grill the bacon. Place lettuce, burgers, bacon, chopped onions and pickles on the buns.
Serve with tomato slices and potato salad on the plate. Sauces on the side. Delicious!
