Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef, minced onion, beaten egg (if using), breadcrumbs (if using), barbecue seasoning, and celery salt. Mix until just combined to avoid overworking the meat.

On 4 of the patties, evenly distribute the smoked cheddar cheese slices and crispy bacon halves.

Top each cheesy-bacon patty with one of the remaining patties, ensuring they are evenly matched in size.
5
Press the edges firmly to seal the patties and prevent any cheese or bacon from leaking during cooking.
