Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons maple syrup
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato slices
- 4 slices red onion slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, then set them aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Using the same grill or skillet, cook the beef patties for 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 and cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for extra flavor and texture.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise onto the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a slice of tomato, a beef patty with melted cheese, a slice of crispy bacon, and a slice of red onion.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of maple syrup over each burger for a touch of sweetness.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients, and secure with a skewer if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
