Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 4 Bacon slices
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Gently mix to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Portion the beef mixture into 4 equal patties, about 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 4-5 minutes, and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
In the same skillet or grill pan (or preheated outdoor grill), cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness level. Remove the patties from the heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the garlicky mayonnaise. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
Toast the burger buns by spreading a light layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them on the skillet or grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of garlicky mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a burger patty, a slice of tomato, and a slice of crispy bacon. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve the BLT burgers immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a crisp salad. Enjoy!
