**Ingredients:**

– 4 burger buns
– 8 slices of bacon
– 4 beef patties
– Salt and pepper
– 4 slices of cheddar cheese
– 4 lettuce leaves
– 4 tomato slices
– 4 onion rings
– 4 wooden skewers

**For the sauce:**

– 1/4 cup of mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons of ketchup
– 1 teaspoon of mustard
– 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste

**Directions:**

– Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the bacon slices in half and arrange them on the prepared sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp.
– In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
– Season the beef patties with salt and pepper and cook them in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes per side or until done to your liking. Top each patty with a slice of cheese and let it melt.
– To assemble the burgers, cut the buns in half and toast them lightly. Spread some sauce on the bottom bun and place a lettuce leaf on top. Then add a cheeseburger patty, two bacon halves, a tomato slice and an onion ring. Repeat with another layer of sauce, lettuce, cheeseburger, bacon, tomato and onion. Finish with the top bun and secure with a wooden skewer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four tower burgers.
– Serve with fries and enjoy!

**Tips and variations:**

– You can use different types of cheese for your burgers, such as Swiss, Monterey Jack or blue cheese.
– You can add some pickles or jalapeños to your burgers for some extra crunch and spice.
– You can serve your burgers with a green salad instead of fries for a lighter option.
