# What You Need:
→ Beef Patties

02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
04 - 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
→ Toppings
05 - 1 large ripe avocado, sliced

# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix and form into 4 equal patties, about ¾ inch thick.
02 - Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef bacon slices for 3–4 minutes per side or until crispy. Set aside on paper towels.
03 - Grill or pan-fry beef patties for 3–4 minutes per side for medium, adding a slice of cheddar on top of each patty during the last minute to melt.
04 - Toast brioche buns, cut side down, until golden and warm.
05 - Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard on the bottom bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, burger patty with melted cheese, avocado slices, crispy beef bacon, and red onion. Add pickles and ketchup if desired. Cap with the top bun.
06 - Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The creamy avocado balances the smoky beef bacon in a way that feels fancy but takes just minutes
- Everything comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners that feel special
02 -
- Don't press down on the patties with your spatula while they cook, you're just squeezing out all those precious juices that make the burger tender
- Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute, otherwise they'll all run out the moment you take a bite
03 -
- Mix a few drops of your favorite hot sauce into the mayonnaise for an extra kick that cuts through the richness
- If your brioche buns are particularly thick, scoop out some of the soft bread from the top to prevent the burger to bun ratio from getting off balance
