Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 mix)
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 8 slices bacon strips
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp pickle relish
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 12 pieces pickle slices
Instructions
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (1/4 lb each) and gently shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Thinly slice the yellow onion. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet used for the bacon and melt over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until caramelized. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and pickle relish to create the burger sauce. Set aside.
Slice the tomato into even rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the patties from the heat and let rest for a minute.
Toast the brioche buns by spreading the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on the cut sides and placing them face down on the grill pan. Toast until golden and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a generous amount of the prepared burger sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and 3 pickle slices. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top. Add two slices of crispy bacon and a portion of caramelized onions. Finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a crisp salad.
