Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 4 pieces brioche burger buns
• 4 pieces cheddar cheese slices
• 8 pieces thick-cut bacon strips
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp onion powder
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 8 pieces pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or grill over medium heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, then divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about ¾-inch thick.

Step 3

Place the bacon strips in a cold skillet, then heat over medium heat. Cook until crispy, flipping as needed, about 7-9 minutes. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

Toast the brioche buns by spreading a thin layer of butter on the cut sides and placing them cut-side-down in a pan or on the grill until golden and slightly crisp, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Cook the burger patties in the same skillet or on the grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare the secret umami sauce by mixing mayonnaise, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, spread the umami sauce onto both the top and bottom halves of each bun.

Step 8

Place a lettuce leaf and a tomato slice on the bottom half of the bun, followed by a cheesy burger patty. Add 2 slices of crispy bacon and a few pickle slices on top.

Step 9

Finish with the top half of the bun, pressing gently to secure the layers.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or onion rings.
