Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place bacon down in strips. Bake until crisp, about 25 minutes. After bacon is done, reserve 2 tablespoons of<br \/>\nbacon fat and drain bacon strips on a towel-lined plate.<\/p>\n<p>3. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper in a medium bowl. Form ground beef into four 6-ounce patties.<br \/>\nSeason both sides well with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n<p>4. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved bacon fat to skillet. Once hot, add patties to skillet. Cook, pressing down to smash the burger and<br \/>\nform a crust on the patty.<\/p>\n<p>5. Flip the burgers and press down again. Top with cheese and cover pan to melt cheese and continue cooking burgers to desired doneness.<\/p>\n<p>6. Spread mayonnaise mixture on both sides of burger buns. Place lettuce on each bottom bun. Top with a burger patty, tomato, onion, bacon, and pickles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eager to try more California Cabernet wines and food pairings?
