Buns and Toppings

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Stir until everything is well combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Cooking
  1. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until you reach your desired doneness.
  3. While the burgers cook, butter the brioche buns and toast them in a pan until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Place each patty on a toasted bun.
  2. Add lettuce, tomato, and pickles if you're feeling fancy.
  3. Serve hot and enjoy your juicy burger!

Notes

Don't skip the ranch dressing for added flavor. Leftovers keep in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Freeze the patties (without buns) for up to 3 months.
