Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices bacon slices
- 2 buns brioche burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 6 slices pickle slices
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into thin patties.
Place the bacon slices in the skillet and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Leave a small amount of bacon grease in the pan (about 1 teaspoon) and add the patties. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, then flip. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked through.
While the patties cook, slice the burger buns in half and toast them in a separate skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create the special sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the special sauce on the bottom halves of the brioche buns. Add shredded lettuce, 3 pickle slices, and one cheesy patty. Layer on a slice of bacon, then add the second cheesy patty and another slice of bacon. Top with the upper halves of the buns.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, like French fries or onion rings!
