Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Choose lean ground beef for best results.
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and finely chopped Ensure bacon is cooked until crispy.
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese Can substitute with other cheese types if desired.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binder for the patties.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar, and egg.
  2. Mix gently with clean hands or a fork just until evenly blended.
  3. Divide the mixture into 12 small patties, pressing them firmly to hold together and ensure they are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the patties in batches if necessary, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. The cheese should melt and crisp around the edges.
  3. Transfer the cooked patties to a serving platter and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving to keep them juicy.

Notes

Serve patties on their own, with a side salad, or in a lettuce wrap. Topping with sauces or sliced avocado adds extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge, or freeze for up to 3 months with parchment paper between patties.
