Patties: 1 pound ground sirloin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Horseradish spread:
1 tablespoon canola mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 teaspoons ketchup

Relish:
2 applewood-smoked bacon slices, chopped
3 cups vertically sliced yellow onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

Other ingredients:
Cooking spray
4 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns or Kaiser rolls

Preparation
(About 70 minutes)

  1. To prepare the patties, divide beef into four portions, lightly shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Sprinkle evenly with salt. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

  2. To prepare horseradish spread, combine mayonnaise and next three ingredients (through ketchup) in a small bowl. Set aside.

  3. To prepare relish, cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon. Add onion to drippings in pan; cook 15 minutes or until golden brown. Combine bacon, onion mixture, chives, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a small bowl.

  4. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add patties; cook two minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.

  5. Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons horseradish spread on cut sides of each bun half.

  6. Top bottom half of each bun with 1 patty, 1/4 cup relish, 1 tomato slice, 1/4 cup lettuce, and top half of bun.
