Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Shape the ground chuck into six ⅓-pound balls, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Slice the white onions thinly and squeeze out excess moisture, then refrigerate.
  3. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes; chop half for the baconnaise.
  4. Combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, rub, and chopped bacon in a bowl; refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  5. Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat, adding avocado oil until shimmering.
  6. Place beef balls on the griddle and smash down. Cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes, then flip, adding onions and cheese.
  7. Toast burger buns cut-side down until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Assemble burgers by spreading baconnaise on buns, stacking patties and toppings, and capping with the top bun.
