Ingredients

  • 8 slices Schmacon beef bacon
  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp prepared horseradish
  • 4 leaves green leaf lettuce
  • 16 slices red onion
  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 lb Certified Angus Beef® brand 80/20 ground beef
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 slices American cheese

Instructions

  • Heat the grill to 400F degrees with a griddle on the grill. Place the beef bacon slices on the griddle and cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Clean the griddle. Toast the buns, cut-side-down for about 30 seconds.
  • Combine the mayonnaise and horseradish. Spread onto the bottom bun. Top with lettuce and onions.
  • Brush the griddle with oil. Portion the ground beef into four 4-ounce balls, packing loosely.
  • Place on the heated griddle. Using a large spatula, smash the burger. Use a second spatula to help, if needed. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Grill for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is charred. Flip. Season with salt and pepper. Top with cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted.
  • Place the burgers on the dressed buns. Spread the top buns with more horseradish mayo. Add to the top and enjoy.
