Cook 2 strips of bacon cut in half on a Blackstone griddle until crispy.

Grill onions on the griddle until translucent without caramelizing.

Form a patty from 80/20 ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and place on the griddle.

Press the patty down for a sear, similar to a smash burger.

Toast burger buns using a bun butterer on the griddle.

Add aged cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover to melt.

Assemble the burger with the patty, bacon, burger sauce, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomato on the toasted bun.
