ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck, (20% fat)
- Salt and black pepper
- 8 hickory smoked bacon strips, halved
- 8 slices American cheese
- 4 brioche buns
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- Lettuce
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Method
Step 1
In a small bowl combine ketchup and mayonnaise. Set aside until ready to use.
Step 2
Divide ground beef into 4 equal pieces (6 ounces each). Form patties and place on parchment paper. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Preheat griddle pan and olive oil. Cook beef patties (4 minutes per side). Once one side of the burger is cooked, flip and place cheese on top (cover with a lid until the cheese melts). Add bacon and cook on the griddle pan at medium heat.
Step 4
While cooking the meat and the bacon, melt butter in a medium skillet and add the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cook at low/medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Let the meat rest on a cooling rack for about 2 to 3 minutes. While meat is resting, spread some butter or mayonnaise to the buns. Toast on a skillet or griddle pan for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 6
Place beef patty on the base of the halved buns. Add the caramelized onion, bacon, tomato and lettuce.
