What makes this burger stand out from the crowd is the attention to detail and the layers of flavor. My favorite technique used in this recipe is a “butter blend” that is incorporated into the burger patties. Butter, Worcestershire Sauce and cayenne pepper are melted together in the microwave before being added to the meat mixture. Let me tell you, that buttery/spicy goodness makes every bite special!
There is also a homemade Thousand Island Dressing spread that blows anything from a bottle out of the water. Finally, I love how you sauté the onions in leftover bacon drippings and then cook the burgers in the same pan.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Prepare the Thousand Island dressing by placing the sauce ingredients in the bowl of a small food processor; pulse just until combined.
In a small bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce, butter and cayenne pepper; cook in the microwave just until the butter is melted then set aside to cool to room temperature.
Crumble the beef into a large bowl. Add the salt and the grated onion then drizzle the cooled Worcestershire/butter mixture over the meat. Using a large wooden spoon, stir gently just to combine the meat and seasonings. Shape the meat into patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet; bake in the oven just until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
Using 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the bacon, cook the onions in a large non-stick skillet, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and golden brown. Transfer the onions to a bowl and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the patties.
Arrange the patties in the pan used to cook the onions and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes then flip with a spatula and top each with the cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium rare.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1-2 tablespoons of the Thousand Island dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Top the dressing with the shredded lettuce followed a tomato slice. Arrange the patty, cheese side up, on the tomato then top with 2 bacon slices and a portion of the onions. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately.
