Ingredients

• For the burgers:
• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 6 slices crispy bacon
• 2 sesame seed burger buns
• 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the buns)
• For the burger sauce:
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 teaspoon pickle relish
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• For the toppings:
• Lettuce leaves
• Tomato slices
• Red onion slices
• Pickles

Preparation Method

Prepare the patties:
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about the size of your burger buns. Press a small dimple into the center of each patty to help it cook evenly. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Cook the bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy and golden brown. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Set aside.

Cook the patties:
Using the same skillet or a preheated grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Make the burger sauce:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Toast the buns:
Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the sesame seed buns. Place them in the skillet or on the grill, cut side down, and toast until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble the burger:
Spread a generous amount of burger sauce on the bottom bun. Layer lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Add one cheese-topped patty, followed by a couple of slices of crispy bacon. Stack the second cheese-topped patty and more bacon. Finish with pickles and top it all off with the toasted bun.

Serve:
Serve immediately while the burgers are hot and fresh. Pair with crispy fries, onion rings, or a fresh side salad for the ultimate meal.

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra burst of flavor, include caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms between the patties.
Swap cheddar cheese for American, Swiss, or pepper jack for a different twist.
To make it a triple-decker, add another patty and layer more toppings.
