Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Secret Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sliced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In another skillet, cook the Applewood bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burger Patties

    Form the ground beef into two patties. Season with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet or grill, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them, and place a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of secret sauce, add shredded lettuce, the burger patty with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
