INGREDIENTS
Burger Patties:
3 lbs ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Cheese & Toppings:
12 slices American cheese (or cheddar)
12 slices crispy turkey bacon (or beef bacon)
1/4 cup mayo (for the top bun)
1/4 cup ketchup (optional)
1/4 cup mustard (optional)
1 large brioche bun (or two buns if you plan to cut the burger)
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Burger Patties:
In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Form into 12 thin, equal-sized patties.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking, letting it melt.
Cook the Bacon:
In a separate pan, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Assemble the Ultimate Tower Burger:
Start with the bottom half of the brioche bun. Place a cooked patty with melted cheese, followed by a slice of crispy bacon.
Continue stacking layers of patties and bacon, one after the other, until you’ve stacked all 12 patties high.
Spread mayo on the top half of the brioche bun. For added flavor, you can also add ketchup and mustard.
Carefully place the top bun over the towering stack, gently pressing down to stabilize it.
