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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple burger sauce.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or a side salad.
