INGREDIENTS
For the Burger Patties:
1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
For the Toppings:
8 slices of cheddar cheese
8 slices of crispy bacon, chopped
Pickle slices
Sliced onions (raw or grilled)
4 burger buns (pretzel buns recommended)
4 tbsp mayonnaise or burger sauce
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Burger Patties:
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape the meat into 8 evenly sized thin patties.
Cook the Patties:
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt.
Prepare the Bacon:
While the patties are cooking, cook the bacon slices in a separate pan until crispy. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Toast the Buns:
Toast the pretzel buns in a skillet with a little butter until golden brown.
Assemble the Burger:
Spread a generous layer of mayonnaise or burger sauce on the bottom and top halves of the buns. Place one cheesy burger patty on the bottom bun, add pickle slices, onions, and a spoonful of chopped bacon. Add another cheesy patty on top, followed by more bacon, and cover with the top bun.
