Place the beef in a bowl and add all the ingredients except the bacon. Mix well until uniform.

Heat a cast iron skillet on medium high and add a tbsp of olive oil. When the oil starts to smoke a bit, form the meat patties and place them on the skillet for 2-3 minutes. This will sear the hamburgers.

Flip the patties and sear the bottom. After two minutes lower the heat to medium, add the cheese and the crumbled bacon and cook to taste.

Serve on top of some lettuce and a sliced tomato.

In the picture I garnished the hamburger with caramelized onions and served it with some stuffed mushrooms.
