Instructions

Cook Bacon
In a medium pan, brown the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. -

Cheesy Bacon Filling

Form Patties

Grill Burgers
- Drizzle the formed patties with a bit of oil.
- Place the burgers on the hot grill pan.
- Cook for 2 minutes on each side over high heat to get that sear.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Avoid pressing down on the burgers as they cook to retain their juiciness.
-
Rest and Prepare Mayo
- Transfer the cooked burgers to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the grilled green onion mayonnaise.
-
Green Onion Mayo

Assemble Burgers
