Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded or small cubes)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces tomato slices
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting buns)
Directions
Step 1
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 3
Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty.
Step 4
Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese and a tablespoon of crumbled bacon onto the center of 4 of the patties. Cover each with another patty and pinch the edges together tightly to seal the cheese and bacon inside.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the stuffed patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the patties are cooked through.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, make the green onion mayo. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, green onions, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
Step 7
Toast the brioche buns by spreading a small amount of butter on the cut sides and placing them on the grill or skillet for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers. Spread a generous layer of green onion mayo on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a piece of lettuce, two slices of tomato, and a stuffed burger patty. Top with the top half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
