Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 slices bacon
1 large onion, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
4 slices cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
4 hamburger buns
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Form into 4 patties after thoroughly mixing.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy.
Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and crispy in the skillet with the bacon grease, about 20 minutes.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper while the onions are cooking.
Place the buttermilk in a separate shallow dish.
After dipping the onion rings in the buttermilk, coat them in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom by 1/4 inch.
Fry the onion rings in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt.
Cook the burgers in a separate skillet or on a grill over medium-high heat until done to your liking, 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Place a slice of cheese and a slice of bacon on top of each burger.
For a few minutes, toast the hamburger buns in the oven.
To assemble the burgers, place a burger patty on the bottom half of each bun, then top with crispy fried onions.
Serve immediately with the top half of the bun.
