Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger Patties
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings and Assembly
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Patty Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the hot surface and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side.
- Flip and Add Cheese: Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt thoroughly.
- Toast the Buns: While the cheese is melting, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or skillet until they are lightly browned and slightly crisp.
- Assemble the Burgers: Lay the cooked burger patties on the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
- Add Toppings: Top each patty with 2 slices of crispy cooked bacon, then add fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles as desired.
- Complete and Serve: Cover the toppings with the top half of the bun and serve the burgers immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use ground beef with at least 20% fat content for juicy burgers.
- Mayonnaise in the patty mixture keeps the burgers moist and adds flavor.
- You can cook the bacon in advance and keep it warm while grilling the patties.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- For extra smoky flavor, consider cooking the burgers on a charcoal grill.
- Feel free to customize toppings, such as adding onions, jalapeños, or your favorite sauces.
