In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, bacon grease, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to create baconnaise sauce.
Divide ground beef into four balls, season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Smash beef balls into patties and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, adding cheese in the last minute if desired.
Toast hamburger buns cut-side down on the skillet or grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
