Method
Prepare the Awesome Sauce
- 1
Make the sauce
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Set aside.

Prepare the Burger Patties
- 3
Form the patties
In a bowl, take the ground beef and divide it into 4 equal portions. Gently form each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns, as they will shrink while cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Grill the patties
In the same skillet (with bacon drippings for extra flavor), add the burger patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
Assemble the Burger

Build the burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place a layer of romaine lettuce. Add the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, followed by a few slices of crispy bacon and a generous helping of sautéed onions. Drizzle with the awesome sauce and add ketchup to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
