Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• place feed shaft, blade, and 1/4-inch die of meat grinder in the freezer until well-chilled. arrange beef sirloin, beef chuck, and beef brisket chunks on rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between each piece and freeze for 10 minutes until meat is firm, but not frozen.
• combine beef and pass meat through grinder twice. shape ground meat evenly into four patties about 2 inches thick and 5 inches wide. refrigerate until ready to grill.
• preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. brush kaiser buns with melted butter.
• arrange bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. drain bacon on paper towels.
• toast buns on the preheated grill until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. remove from grill and set aside.
• place beef patties on the grill and cook until burgers are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees f (60 degrees c). top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and continue cooking until cheese is melted, about 1 minute more.
• stir mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, dill pickle, garlic powder, and paprika in a bowl; spread mixture over toasted buns. place patties on prepared kaiser buns and season with salt and pepper. top burgers with 4 slices bacon, 2 slices tomato, and 1 lettuce leaf.
