1
Cook halved slices of smoked bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp; then place them on a paper towel to drain off excess fat

In a medium bowl place the lean ground beef, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper and kosher salt; mix well to combine the ingredients

Divide the seasoned beef into 8 equal portions, shaping each into 3-inch diameter patties
