Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 8 pieces Bacon strips
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until the seasoning is evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into round patties about ¾-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet or on the grill, cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, butter the inside of the burger buns and toast them on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into 4 even slices and wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Assemble the burgers: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and two strips of bacon on top of the mayonnaise. Add the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the BLT Burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad. Enjoy!
