Ingredients

4 servings

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
⅓ cup bbq sauce
4 brioche burger buns, split
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

For serving

4 leaves green leaf lettuce
1 large tomato, sliced into 4 rounds
½ red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

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.
2
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.
