Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 slices of thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar or gouda recommended)
- 4 soft burger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, parsley, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties with a slight indentation in the center.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet or on the grill, add the burger patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and add cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Toast the burger buns until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing lettuce, the burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato, and pickles on the bottom half of each bun, then top with the other half.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Do not overwork the meat mixture to keep the burgers tender.
