Method
Preparing the Burger Patties
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.
Cooking the Burger Patties
Add Cheese
After flipping, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.
Preparing the Toppings
Cook Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prep Vegetables
Slice the tomato and red onion. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Assembling the Burger
Toast Buns (optional)
If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Build the Burger
Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf, followed by a burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, and red onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.
