🍔 Ingredients

For the Burger Patties:

  • 500g (1 lb) ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • Salt & black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

For the Creamy Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice (optional but 🔥)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For Assembly:

  • 4 brioche burger buns
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6–8 slices crispy bacon
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced onions (caramelized or raw)
  • Butter (for toasting buns)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce

In a bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until smooth.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (this makes the flavor stronger).

2. Cook the Bacon

  • Fry bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy.
  • Place on paper towels to remove excess grease.

3. Make the Patties

  • Divide beef into 4 equal portions.
  • Shape into patties (don’t overwork the meat).
  • Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

4. Cook the Burgers

  • Heat a pan or grill on high heat.
  • Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side.
  • Add cheddar cheese on top during the last minute and let it melt.

5. Toast the Buns

  • Spread butter on buns and toast in a pan until golden and slightly crispy.

6. Assemble the Burger

Layer like this:

  1. Bottom bun
  2. Lettuce
  3. Juicy beef patty with melted cheese
  4. Crispy bacon
  5. Generous amount of creamy sauce (don’t be shy 😏)
  6. Onions
  7. Top bun

🔥 Pro Tips

  • Use brioche buns for that soft + slightly sweet taste.
  • Don’t press the patty while cooking (you’ll lose juices).
  • Add a slice of smoked cheese for extra flavor.
  • Want it spicy? Add hot sauce or chili flakes to the sauce.
