For the Baconnaise Sauce:
Mayonnaise

Instructions
Make the Baconnaise Sauce: Combine mayonnaise, bacon bits, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon juice. Mix well and refrigerate.
Prepare the Patties: Divide the ground beef into equal portions (about 2-3 oz each). Roll into loose balls.
Cook the Smash Burgers: Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef balls onto the hot surface, then smash them flat with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
Add Cheese and Assemble: Once the patties are cooked and crispy, top with cheese and allow it to melt. Spread baconnaise sauce on the buns, add patties, and assemble the burgers.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately with fries or your favorite side dish.
Notes
For extra crispiness, cook the patties without moving them for about 2 minutes per side.
Use freshly ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
The baconnaise sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
