How to Make Bacon Lovers Burger
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until desired crispness is achieved.
- While bacon is baking, prepare your burger patties. Gently mix ground beef with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Form the ground beef into 4 patties, about ¾ inch thick.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking.
- During the last minute of cooking the patties, toast your burger buns.
- Assemble your burgers: spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, top with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese (if desired), cooked burger patty, crispy bacon, and top with the other bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
