Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded or small cubes)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces tomato slices
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
Instructions
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty.
Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese and a tablespoon of crumbled bacon onto the center of 4 of the patties. Cover each with another patty and pinch the edges together tightly to seal the cheese and bacon inside.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the stuffed patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the patties are cooked through.
While the burgers are cooking, make the green onion mayo. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, green onions, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
Toast the brioche buns by spreading a small amount of butter on the cut sides and placing them on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers. Spread a generous layer of green onion mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a piece of lettuce, two slices of tomato, and a stuffed burger patty. Top with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
