Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef (85% lean)
- 4 slices Smoked Gouda cheese, sliced
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato, sliced
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing while cooking.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
Brush the grill or pan with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness (160°F internal temperature for medium). During the last minute of cooking, add a slice of smoked Gouda on top of each patty to melt.
While the patties cook, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster oven.
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create the burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the mayonnaise-mustard sauce on both the top and bottom buns. Layer the bottom bun with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and the Gouda-topped burger patty. Top the patty with two slices of crispy bacon and then the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries, coleslaw, or a green salad.
