Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 4 slices bacon slices
• 2 buns brioche burger buns
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tsp yellow mustard
• 6 slices pickle slices
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into thin patties.

Step 3

Place the bacon slices in the skillet and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Leave a small amount of bacon grease in the pan (about 1 teaspoon) and add the patties. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, then flip. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties are cooked through.

Step 5

While the patties cook, slice the burger buns in half and toast them in a separate skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter until golden brown.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create the special sauce.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread the special sauce on the bottom halves of the brioche buns. Add shredded lettuce, 3 pickle slices, and one cheesy patty. Layer on a slice of bacon, then add the second cheesy patty and another slice of bacon. Top with the upper halves of the buns.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, like French fries or onion rings!
