**Ingredients:**
– 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
– 4 slices of thick-cut bacon
– 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 large tomato, sliced
– 4 leaves of lettuce
– 4 burger buns, toasted
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon ketchup
– 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon butter
**Directions:**
1. **Prepare the Bacon**: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
2. **Form the Patties**: In a bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.
3. **Cook the Burgers**: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter to the skillet, then cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt.
4. **Assemble the Burgers**: Spread mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup on the toasted buns. Add a layer of lettuce, followed by the cheesy burger patty, crispy bacon, tomato slice, and red onion. Top with the bun.
5. **Serve & Enjoy**: Serve immediately with a side of fries or salad.
