1
Form the Patties
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and divide into two equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
2
Cook the Patties
Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for another 3 minutes.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Reserve some bacon fat in the skillet for cooking the mushrooms.
4
Sauté the Mushrooms
In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5
Add Fried Onions
Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the fried onions to the skillet and mix well to combine. Heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes.

6
Melt the Cheese
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each patty after flipping them. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
7
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each burger bun, place the cheese-topped patty, then layer with the sautéed mushrooms and fried onions. Top with the crispy bacon and close with the top half of the bun.
