Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Shape the Patties

    Form the beef mixture into four equal-sized patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a generous amount of cheddar cheese on each patty, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt.

  4. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the hamburger buns on another skillet or in the oven until golden brown.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted hamburger bun, place a patty with melted cheese. Top each patty with a slice of crispy bacon and drizzle BBQ sauce over the top.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Cover with the top half of the hamburger bun and serve immediately, enjoying your Big Wood Jack Savage burger.
