INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef (80/20 for extra juiciness)
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 slices cheddar cheese
6 strips thick-cut bacon
4 brioche or sesame buns
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
2 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare Beef Patties: Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions and form each into a thin, round patty.
Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Cook the Patties: Using the same skillet or a cast-iron griddle, heat to medium-high. Season each beef patty with salt and pepper, then cook for 1-2 minutes per side. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty just after flipping, letting it melt.
Toast the Buns: Melt butter in the skillet and toast each bun until golden and crispy.
Assemble the Burger: Place a cheesy beef patty on the bottom bun, add a layer of BBQ sauce, then add a slice of crispy bacon. Repeat with another patty, more BBQ sauce, and more bacon, stacking up to your preferred height. Top with the bun.
Serve: Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
