The history of the hamburger can be traced back to the time when the Mongol nomads of the time of Genghis Khan satisfied their hunger with a piece of meat wrapped in a bread cake. By the 18th century, minced meat in the form of round pieces was already well known and loved in Europe. And thanks to the inventors of the “classic” hamburger (at the end of the 19th century, many claimed the championship in the United States), it became the American “lifestyle”. In our country, a hamburger is not considered a decent food and is associated with “fast food”. It’s a pity. A good meat cutlet with vegetables, spices, and cheese (cheese changes the name of the hamburger to “cheeseburger”) is quite worthy of attention.

1. Cook bacon slices in a skillet over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel. Cut each onion bun in half and toast cut-side down in the same skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden.
2. Chop 6 slices of the cooked bacon and mix with ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form 5 round patties.
3. Preheat grill to 190°C (375°F). Coat grill grates with non-stick spray.
4. Place patties on the hot grill, close the lid, and cook for 7-8 minutes. Flip and cook for another 7-8 minutes until internal temperature reaches 71°C (160°F).
5. Mix mayonnaise, horseradish, and 3 crumbled cooked bacon slices in a bowl. Brush the bottom half of each toasted bun with this mixture.
6. Layer lettuce, tomato slice, burger patty, cheese slice, and remaining cooked bacon on the sauce-covered bun half. Top with the other bun half. Serve with French fries if desired.
