Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 fat ratio)
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 pieces burger buns
• 1 whole jalapeño, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce
• 2 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Do not overmix to keep the patties tender.

Step 2

Divide the seasoned ground beef into 2 equal portions and form two patties, slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink during cooking.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet (or grill pan), cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or cook to your desired level. In the final minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese onto each patty to melt.

Step 5

While the patties cook, lightly brush the insides of the burger buns with olive oil and toast them cut side down in the same pan or on a grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce) to create a spicy mayo.

Step 7

To assemble the burger, spread the spicy mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon slices, and a few jalapeño slices for added heat.

Step 8

Top with the remaining buns and serve immediately. Enjoy your Bite Ya Back Bacon Cheese Burgers with your favorite sides!
