15 -
Crushed red chili flakes (1 tablespoon)

A tablespoon of custom house spices
# Instructions:
01 -
Form the ground chuck into loose 1/3-pound balls and let them chill in the fridge for half an hour to firm them up.
02 -
Cut the onions into super-thin slices using a mandoline. Make sure to remove excess moisture from them, and keep them in the fridge until needed.
03 -
Cook thick bacon strips until super crispy, then chop the pieces into bits for both the sauce and toppings.
04 -
Combine mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, crispy bacon, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, house seasoning, and chili flakes in a bowl. Mix well and set it aside.
05 -
Heat your griddle until very hot. Add some avocado oil, then space out the chilled burger balls on it. Add the onion slices on top and press each ball flat with a sturdy spatula. Sprinkle on garlic powder, ground black pepper, and sea salt.
06 -
Let the patties cook for about 3 minutes to get a good crust. Then brush them with mustard, flip them over, top with cheese slices, and let them cook until the cheese gets melty.
07 -
Lightly toast the burger buns on the griddle. Spread the baconnaise across the bottom bun. Layer on two patties, pour on more sauce, and finish things off with the top bun. Serve while it’s nice and hot.
# Notes:
01 -
80/20 ground chuck is the secret to juicy, flavorful patties.

Always be cautious and use safety tools when working with a mandoline slicer to avoid accidents.
