How to Make Bacon Quarter Pounders Mamma S Way

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup frozen chopped onion, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Gently mix until just combined. Overmixing will result in dry burgers.
  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions (approximately 1/4 lb each).
  5. Gently form each portion into a 1/4-inch thick patty. Make a thumb-sized hole in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking.
  6. Add the patties to the preheated skillet.
  7. Sprinkle each patty with 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt.
  8. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to reach your desired doneness.
  9. Place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
  10. Top each burger with 2 bacon halves.
  11. Remove burgers from skillet and place on the bottom halves of your buns.
  12. Add your favorite toppings: We suggest starting with tomato slices and lettuce.
  13. Spread 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise on the top half of each bun, and add any other desired toppings.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
