Ingredients
-
1 large egg, beaten
-
1 tablespoon ketchup
-
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon brown sugar
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
-
pinch dried thyme
-
cayenne pepper to taste
-
¼ plain bread crumbs
-
⅔ chopped cooked bacon
-
1 pound ground chuck beef (85% lean)
Directions
- Whisk egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs and chopped cooked bacon. Crumble in the ground beef. Mix with your fingers until bacon and breadcrumbs are distributed evenly.
- Form mixture into 4 burgers with your wet hands. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly, about 3 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place burgers on the grate and cook, turing occasionally, until firm and cooked to your desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 145 and 150 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let burgers rest for a few minutes before serving.
