These savory bacon cheeseburgers are a delightful twist on the classic BLT, featuring a tangy spread and juicy patties.
Dice the bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Cooking the bacon until crispy ensures it adds a nice crunch to the patties.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked bacon, seasoning salt, and shredded cheese. Mix well and form into 8 patties.
Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create the spread. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Chilling the spread allows the flavors to meld together.
Preheat the broiler and place the patties on a broiler pan. Broil for 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked to your liking.
Keep an eye on the patties to avoid overcooking.
Slice the tomatoes and prepare the lettuce leaves. Toast the burger buns under the broiler until lightly golden.
Toasting the buns enhances their flavor and prevents them from becoming soggy.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the mayonnaise mixture on the buns, adding a patty, and topping with lettuce and tomato.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
