Step 1
Mix beef and pork with a pinch of salt and pepper. Form into two thin, loose patties about 5 inches wide.
Step 2
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium-high until crispy, ~4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, sear patties 2–3 minutes per side without moving. Tops should look deeply browned.
Step 4
Lay one patty on a plate. Top with bacon, then cheese, then the second patty. Cover with a lid for 60 seconds to melt.
Step 5
Stir ajvar and mayo together. Spread on a toasted bun or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
