Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or on a grill until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato (sliced), the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
