How to Make Bacon Bit Burgers
- Cook 4 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Reserve about 1 teaspoon of bacon drippings; discard the rest.
- Finely chop 1/4 of a medium onion (about 1/4 cup). Slice the remaining 1 3/4 of the onion into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Sauté the chopped onion in the reserved bacon drippings for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Combine the sautéed chopped onion with the crumbled bacon.
- Coat the skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook until soft and slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the sliced onions and keep warm.
- In a bowl, combine 1 pound sirloin, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon grill seasoning, and the bacon-onion mixture.
- Gently form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the burgers in the skillet over medium heat for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness (medium-rare: 4 minutes; medium-well: 6 minutes).
- Top each burger with 1 slice of cheese and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
- Stir 2 tablespoons of steak sauce into the cooked sliced onions.
- Toast burger buns, if desired.
- Serve the burgers topped with the smothered onions on toasted buns (optional).
