Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Grill the Patties

   In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   With one minute left to cook the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese melts, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   Spread mayo on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato, pickles, and onion. Drizzle BBQ sauce on top and cover with the top bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Cut the burger in half if desired and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
