Preheat your oven broiler to high heat. Prepare a broiler pan by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well, but do not overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties approximately 3/4 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
Place the patties on the broiler pan with space in between. Broil for 5-7 minutes on the first side, then flip and broil for another 4-5 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (for medium doneness). If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last 1-2 minutes of broiling.
While the burgers are broiling, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Toast the burger buns to your liking. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer the assembled burgers: start with a lettuce leaf, then add the broiled patty, a slice of tomato, and a slice of bacon. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 8 for 8 Broiled BLT Burgers with your favorite sides!
