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

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, the white parts of the scallions, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indent in the center of each with your thumb.
