For the patties
- 1 ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
For the burger
- 8 strips bacon
- 4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions
- 1
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the fat is rendered and the strips are crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and pour off all but about 1 tsp of the drippings from the skillet.

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 6 oz each) and gently shape each into a patty roughly 4 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb. Season both sides evenly with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
