Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs (680g) ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 hamburger buns, split and toasted
- 4 leaves iceberg lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced into 8 rounds
- 4 slices American cheese (optional)
- Mayonnaise, ketchup, or preferred condiments
Instructions
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (6 oz each). Shape into patties slightly larger than the buns, about 3/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Press a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 tbsp bacon fat from the skillet.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Cook patties in the hot skillet for 4 minutes per side for medium, or to desired doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt.
- Toast buns in the skillet or under the broiler until lightly golden.
- Assemble burgers: spread mayonnaise on bottom bun, add lettuce, tomato slices, patty with cheese, bacon, and top bun. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, season the patties with garlic powder or onion powder.
- To keep the burger juicy, avoid pressing down on the patty while cooking.
- Leftover cooked patties can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
