The Best Thick Bacon Cheeseburger

Ingredients

• 6 lb ground beef (96/4)
• 3 tbsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 3 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 15 turkey bacon slices
• 1 whole white onion, large, diced
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/3 cup brown stevia
• 14 ultra thin sliced cheese
• 1/4 cup light mayo
• 14 whole brioche buns
• dill pickle chips, if wanted

Steps

1. Combine ground beef with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika; mix well and form into 14 patties.

2. Cook the turkey bacon until crispy, then chop or crumble.

3. Sauté the diced onion until softened, then add the cooked bacon, honey, and brown stevia; simmer to form a sweet bacon onion jam.

4. Cook the beef patties to desired doneness, adding a slice of cheese near the end so it melts.

5. Spread light mayo on the brioche buns, then assemble each burger with a patty, bacon onion jam, and dill pickle chips if desired.
