A juicy, smashed beef patty piled high with crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and a creamy, tangy sour cream spread. This bunless burger is pure savory satisfaction, delivering big flavor and satisfying richness.
Ingredients
4 servings
Ground beef (80/20)300 g
Thick-cut bacon4 slices
Cheddar cheese slices2
Sour cream (full fat)2 tbsp
Sea salt0.5 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp
Garlic powder (optional, for flavor)0.1 tsp
Method
1
Form the ground beef into two loose balls. Season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and optional garlic powder.
2
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon, reserving a tablespoon of the rendered fat in the pan.
3
Place one beef ball in the hot pan and immediately smash it flat with a sturdy spatula to about 1/2 inch thick. Cook for 2-3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
4
Flip the patty, immediately top with a slice of cheese, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked through to your preference.
5
Repeat with the second beef ball and cheese. While the second patty cooks, combine sour cream with a pinch of salt for a simple spread.
To assemble
