Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef, 80/20
• 3 slices, chopped thick-cut bacon
• 3 oz, shredded sharp cheddar
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup, chopped, plus 2 tbsp brine dill pickles
• 1/2 tbsp yellow mustard
• 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 head, shredded romaine lettuce
• 1, diced tomatoes
• 1, finely diced yellow onion
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

1. Stir the mayonnaise, mustard, tomato paste, pickle brine and half the chopped pickles together with a pinch of pepper. Refrigerate the sauce while you cook.
2. Crisp the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, about 8 minutes, then lift it out and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat.
3. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the onion and cook 2 minutes, then add the beef and press it flat. Let it sit undisturbed 4 minutes so the underside browns and crusts, then break it up and cook 4 minutes more until no pink remains. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Kill the heat, scatter the cheddar over the beef, cover for 2 minutes and let it melt into the meat.
5. Build bowls with shredded romaine at the bottom, the cheeseburger beef on top, then the tomatoes, bacon, remaining pickles and a heavy drizzle of the special sauce.
