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

For the burgers

8 slices bacon
4 large eggs
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 brioche burger buns, split
1 tbsp unsalted butter

For serving

2 tbsp mayonnaise
4 leaves butter lettuce
4 slices tomato
hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the fat has 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, leaving a thin film in the pan.
2
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 6 oz each) and gently form each into a patty roughly 4 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty with your thumb. Season both sides evenly with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
