Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 4 slice Cheddar cheese slices
• 2 Hamburger buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 slice Thick-cut bacon
• 0.5 cup Caramelized onions
• 4 slice Pickles
• 2 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape them into thin, uniform patties.

Step 2

Preheat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 3

Lightly butter the inside of each hamburger bun and toast them in the skillet or on the grill until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet or grill, cook the beef patties for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they develop a nice crust. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Step 5

Assemble the burger: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom bun. Add lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles.

Step 6

Place one cheesy patty on top of the veggies, followed by 2 slices of bacon and half of the caramelized onions. Add the second cheesy patty on top.

Step 7

Spread additional mayonnaise or hot sauce (if using) on the top bun and place it on the burger. Repeat the process for the second burger.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of fries or your favorite chips. Enjoy your indulgent Naughty Burger!
