Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 4 Brioche buns
- 4 Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 Thick-cut bacon strips
- 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently, being careful not to overwork the meat. Form into 4 equal patties, about ¾ inch thick, and set aside.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Slice the tomato into 4 thick slices and the red onion into thin rings. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Set these toppings aside for assembly.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the inside of each brioche bun. Toast the buns on a skillet or griddle over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the mayo-mustard sauce on the bottom half of each toasted brioche bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by a slice of tomato, a cheesy burger patty, 2 strips of crispy bacon, and a few rings of red onion. Add the top half of the bun to complete the burger.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a side salad.
