Sliced avocado or a dollop of guacamole are other tasty options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Barbecue Bacon Burgers<\/h2>\n<p>Leftover burgers can be stored for up to three days in an airtight container. To prevent mushy buns, store them separately from the burgers. Reheat the patties in a 350\u00b0 oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until the center of the burger reaches 160\u00b0. Flip the burgers once midway through the cooking period.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you make barbecue bacon burgers ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>Burger patties can be made up to two days in advance. Cover them tightly in storage wrap and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook. For the best flavor and texture, it&#8217;s best to make the bacon and onion rings right before using them as toppings for the burgers.<\/p>\n<h2>Barbecue Bacon Burger Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1999702\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Barbecue-Bacon-Burger-FT24_165348_EC_052224_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Two Delicious Barbecue Bacon Burger topped with onion rings and cheese\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with barbecue bacon burgers?<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to side dishes for barbecue bacon cheeseburgers, think of picnic foods such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/contest-winning-old-fashioned-potato-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/contest-winning-old-fashioned-potato-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">potato salad<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/corn-and-black-bean-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/corn-and-black-bean-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cowboy caviar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-pasta-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/top-10-pasta-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pasta salad<\/a> or sweet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/perfect-corn-on-the-cob\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/perfect-corn-on-the-cob\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">corn on the cob<\/a>.
