- 8 strips bacon
- 1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20)
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced

- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and deeply browned, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the skillet.

Combine the ground beef, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb.
