Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place applewood smoked bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil. Cook 8-10 minutes per side until crispy. Flipping and pouring out grease as necessary to get the ultimate crisp. Set aside to cool on a paper towel, pat extra grease off.
- Add your ground beef to a bowl. Pour about 3 TBSP of Worcestershire, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder. Gently fold with spatula to combine.
- GENTLY fold with a spatula to combine. Shape into 6 burgers. Use your thumb to press a dimple into the center to prevent the burger from shrinking.
- Heat your cast iron over medium- high heat for at least 5 minutes before adding meat. You want the pan HOT to get a good sear. ( no oil needed if you follow these directions: Once the pan is hot and you start to see a bit of smoke, pop the patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side ( based on how you like your burgers cooked) make sure the pan sizzles when burger makes first contact with the pan. Do not touch burger for a few minutes to prevent sticking. When you flip burger it should have a nice crust and sear. This guide from The Kitchn will help you: Medium-Rare (red in the middle): 6 minutes total Medium (pink in the middle): 7 to 8 minutes total Medium-Well (a smidge of pink in the middle): 9 minutes total Well Done (no pink): 10 minutes total
- When your burger is almost cooked and has about 1 minute left, add your slice of sharp cheddar on top to melt. Remove patty from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Make your burger sauce by mixing all ingredients listed in a bowl.
- Assemble your wrap. Place your lettuce leaf on a plate. Smear sauce of choice across the leaf. Place cheddar burger on the leaf. Top with bacon, tomato, avocado slices, and purple onion slices, or whatever you want!!
- Wrap up and ENJOY (:
