Method

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, chopped onion, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
2. Divide the mixture into 4 patties.
3. Heat the olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties 3-5 minutes per side to your preferred doneness.
4. Lay a slice of cheddar on each patty in the last minute so it melts.
5. Build each burger by stacking a lettuce leaf, the cheesy patty, bacon, tomato, and red onion, then top with a second lettuce leaf as a bun.
