Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 slices Bacon strips
• 2 Brioche buns
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 4 slices Pickles
• 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Ketchup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties slightly larger than the buns (they'll shrink while cooking).

Step 3

Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, cook the patties for approximately 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness (adjust cooking time based on your preference). During the last minute of cooking, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half. Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the buns and toast them in a separate skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, layer with a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty topped with melted cheese, 2 slices of crispy bacon, a tomato slice, and pickles. Spread ketchup on the top half of the bun and place it on top.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or onion rings.
