Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 slices of cooked bacon
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for cooking
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles

How to Make Cheesy Bacon Burger with Creamy Sauce

1. In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into four equal patties.
2. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add a little vegetable oil. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip.
3. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese after flipping. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Toast the sesame seed buns in the skillet or on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Assemble the burgers: spread a generous amount of creamy sauce on the bottom bun, add the burger patty topped with bacon, and layer with any additional toppings you like. Finish with the top bun.
7. Serve immediately with a side of crispy fries.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider mixing in Worcestershire sauce into the beef before forming patties.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to the appropriate temperature for safety.
• Let the patties rest for a minute after cooking to retain their juices.

Easy Variations

• Swap out cheddar for your favorite cheese, like Swiss or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions on top for a gourmet touch.
• For a spicy kick, mix some hot sauce into the creamy sauce or add jalapeños as a topping.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy French fries or sweet potato fries
• Coleslaw for a crunchy side
• A fresh garden salad for a lighter option
• Onion rings for an extra indulgent treat
