Ingredients

2 1/2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 1/2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
3 oz. Cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 1 cup)
Kosher salt and pepper
4 hamburger buns
Green leaf lettuce leaves
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 lb. sliced bacon, cooked until crisp

Directions

1. Step 1Heat grill to medium. In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and ketchup; set aside.
2. Step 2Divide ground beef into 8 equal portions. Shape 4 into 1/4-inch-thick patties. Shape remaining 4 into 1/2-inch-thick patties, then use thumbs to make shallow 2-inch-wide indent in top of each patty.
3. Step 3Divide cheese among indents (about 1/4 cup each), then top with remaining patties. Firmly pinch edges together (reshape into round patties if needed). Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Step 4Grill, covered, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium to medium-well.
5. Step 5Spread buns with mayonnaise mixture, top with burgers, and add toppings as desired.
