Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces burger buns
- 1 whole jalapeño, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 2 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Do not overmix to keep the patties tender.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 2 equal portions and form two patties, slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink during cooking.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
In the same skillet (or grill pan), cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or cook to your desired level. In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese onto each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, lightly brush the insides of the burger buns with olive oil and toast them cut side down in the same pan or on a grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce) to create a spicy mayo.
To assemble the burger, spread the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon slices, and a few jalapeño slices for added heat.
Top with the remaining buns and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bite Ya Back Bacon Cheese Burgers with your favorite sides!
