Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 strips Bacon
- 2 buns Brioche burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Pickle juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 6 slices Pickle slices
- 2 teaspoons Butter
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, then form into 4 equal patties (about 1/4 pound each). Press a small indent in the middle of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon strips until crispy, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet or grill pan, cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a cheddar cheese slice on top of each patty to melt.
While the burgers cook, lightly butter the brioche buns and toast them in another skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle juice, and garlic powder to create the special sauce.
To assemble the burgers, spread a generous layer of the special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a lettuce leaf, 2 tomato slices, a cooked patty with melted cheese, 2 pickle slices, and a strip of crispy bacon folded in half. Repeat the layering process with another patty and another bacon strip for a double-stacked burger.
Top with the other half of the toasted bun and secure with a skewer if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your 'Doozie of a Floozie Burger'!
