Ingredients
1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for optimal juiciness)
Salt and pepper
to taste
4 slices of American cheese
4 burger buns (preferably brioche)
Butter
for toasting the buns
Optional toppings: lettuce
tomato
pickles
onions
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 4 slices)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper
to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper and form it into four equal balls.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and place the beef balls onto the surface.
- Using a flat spatula, smash each ball down to form a patty, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until crispy on the edges.
- Flip the patties, place a slice of cheese on each, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- In the meantime, butter the burger buns and toast them in a separate pan until golden brown.
- To make the baconnaise sauce, mix together mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, adding any desired toppings, and generously spreading the baconnaise sauce on the top bun before closing the burger.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the ultimate flavor boost with your grilled favorites!
Notes
For extra crunch, consider adding fried onions or jalapeños as toppings. You can adjust the bacon in the baconnaise sauce based on your preference for smokiness.
