In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then divide into two equal portions and shape into burger patties, about ¾ inch thick.

Form the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Cook the Patties

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.

Add Cheese

In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

Cook the Bacon

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.

Prepare the Buns

Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, slice of tomato, onion rings, burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
