    While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and grill the onion until soft.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a patty with melted cheese, followed by crispy bacon, lettuce, grilled onions, and tomato. Drizzle with 1000 Island dressing and top with the other half of the bun.
