# Ingredients:

→ Burgers

01 - 2 white onions, sliced super thin
02 - Sliced pepper jack cheese
03 - Salt, pepper, and garlic (for flavor)
04 - Burger buns
05 - Yellow mustard for grilling
06 - Half a pound of crispy bacon, chopped up
07 - Avocado oil for the griddle
08 - 2 pounds of 80/20 ground chuck, shaped into balls (1/3 pound each)

→ Baconnaise Sauce

09 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
10 - 2 tablespoons mustard
11 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
12 - 2 tablespoons ketchup
13 - 1/2 cup mayo
14 - 1/2 pound of crispy bacon, crumbled
15 - 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
16 - 1 tablespoon of an all-purpose rub

# Instructions:

01 - Shape your chuck beef into 1/3 pound balls and stick them in the fridge for half an hour.
02 - Cook bacon till it's crispy, chop pieces, and leave them to the side.
03 - Run the onions through a mandoline slicer (use the safety attachment). Squeeze out any water and keep chilled.
04 - Combine mayo, ketchup, mustard, crispy bacon, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, all-purpose rub, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Chill it afterward.
05 - Warm up a griddle on medium-high heat. Spread avocado oil, place the burger balls a few inches apart, press them with onions on top, and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper.
06 - Let burgers cook for 3-4 minutes. Cover with mustard, flip them, add cheese slices, and cook another few minutes till they’re gooey.
07 - Toast the buns on the griddle. Add Baconnaise sauce, stack two patties, a little more sauce on top, and close with the bun.

# Notes:

01 - Go for 80/20 ground chuck to get a juicy outcome.
02 - Don’t skip the mandoline guard. It’s easy to use safely.
03 - Keeping burger balls cold helps hold their shape while cooking.
