Chef's tip
Cook it only until crisp, adding a little oil to the pan - vegetarian bacon cooks much faster than pork bacon and can scorch. If the recipe simmers or bakes the bacon further, set it aside and stir it back in near the end.
1 ½ lbs ground beef (80/20)
Chef's tip
Pick the form that matches the recipe - a raw, moldable ground for patties, meatballs, or meatloaf; crumbles only for loose browned meat. Cook it in the recipe like the meat, checking doneness against the package guidance.
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
Chef's tip
Shred it and warm it gently; dairy-free cheddar melts best baked into a dish.
4 hamburger buns, split
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

For serving

lettuce, tomato, and condiments, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
