How to cook deliciously - BLT Burgers

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400º and place a baking rack inside of a baking sheet (to help catch grease).

2. Stage

Make a bacon weave: On the baking rack, line 3 bacon halves side-by-side. Lift one end of the middle bacon slice and place a fourth bacon half on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Lay the middle slice back down.

3. Stage

Next, lift the two side strips of bacon and place a 5th bacon half on top of the middle piece and underneath the sides. Lay the side slices back down.

4. Stage

Finally, lift the other end of the middle slice and place a 6th slice on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Repeat to make a second weave.

5. Stage

Season with pepper and bake until bacon is crispy, 25 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to blot grease. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.

6. Stage

Meanwhile, make burgers: Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Shape ground beef into large patties and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium.

7. Stage

Make herb mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chives.

8. Stage

Assemble burgers: For each burger, place a bacon weave on the bottom then spread it with some herb mayo. Top with burger, lettuce, tomato and remaining bacon weave. Serve immediately.
