Prepare the Burger Patties: In a bowl, combine all Burger Patties ingredients. Gently form into 4 patties, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Cook the Bacon: Cook bacon until crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and stir in Cheddar Cheese until melted and smooth.
Cook the Burgers: Grill or pan-fry the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to desired doneness.
Assemble the Burgers: Spread Mayonnaise and Ketchup on the Hamburger Buns. Place Lettuce and Tomato on the bottom bun. Top with a burger patty, 2 slices of Bacon, and a generous amount of Cheese Sauce. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
