Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Onion powder
• 8 pieces Bacon slices
• 1 Yellow onion
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Brioche burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato
• 4 slices Dill pickles
• 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 1 tsp Mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Use your thumb to press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, then transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan for flavor.

Step 4

Thinly slice the yellow onion. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet or grill, raise the heat to medium-high and cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty so it melts slightly.

Step 6

Toast the brioche burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster for added flavor and texture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Assemble the burgers: Spread a tablespoon of the special sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a burger patty with melted cheese. Top with two slices of crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a pickle slice. Place the top bun on and press gently.

Step 9

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