Burger Patties

Bacon

Cheese

Buns and Toppings

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Chill the Patties

    Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

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

Grilling the Burgers

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, sliced tomato, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
