Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) ground beef
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup (120 ml) breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (5 ml) onion powder
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) black pepper
Instructions
- Patty Preparation: Delicately mix ground beef with a harmonious blend of herbs and spices, forming four substantial patties that generously overhang the bun’s edges, ensuring a succulent texture.
- Cooking Process: Ignite a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, searing patties to develop a robust caramelized crust. During the final cooking phase, drape each patty with a crisp bacon slice, allowing rendered fat to intensify the flavor profile.
- Cheese Fusion: Whisk ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan into a velvety amalgamation, gradually incorporating marinara sauce until achieving a luxurious, creamy consistency that promises gastronomic complexity.
- Bun Transformation: Lavishly butter bun interiors and toast in a skillet until achieving a golden, crisp exterior with warm, enticing undertones that provide a delectable foundation.
- Burger Assembly: Generously spread the cheese mixture across the bottom bun, strategically positioning the bacon-enhanced patty. Embellish with additional marinara and delicate fresh basil leaves, creating a visually stunning and flavor-packed masterpiece.
- Final Presentation: Gently crown with the top bun, applying gentle pressure to harmonize the components. Serve immediately alongside crispy fries or a vibrant salad to complement this indulgent culinary creation.
Notes
- Meat Handling Technique: Gently mix ground beef with herbs to prevent overworking, which can make patties tough and dense.
- Bacon Infusion Tip: Allow bacon to render slowly over the patty during final cooking stages to maximize flavor and ensure crispy texture.
- Cheese Blend Strategy: Whisk ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent sauce that melts evenly across the burger.
- Temperature Control: Cook burger patties over medium heat to develop caramelized exterior while maintaining juicy interior, preventing dryness and ensuring perfect doneness.
