Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
8 slices bacon
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 whole burger buns toasted
1 cup lettuce shredded
1 whole tomato sliced
1 whole red onion sliced

Secret Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sweet relish
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1 In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
2 Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
3 In the same skillet, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
4 Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
5 While the burgers cook, combine all ingredients for the secret sauce in a small bowl and mix well.
6 Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on the grill until golden brown.
7 Assemble burgers by spreading secret sauce on the bottom bun, followed by a lettuce layer, the beef patty, tomato slices, onion slices, and bacon. Top with the upper half of the bun.
8 Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side, if desired.
