Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ground Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and close the lid of the grill or cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 6

    Cook Bacon

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

  2. 7

    Slice Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice it into thin pieces.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 8

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 9

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon strips, tomato slices, avocado, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

Prepare Dipping Sauce

  1. 10

    Mix Sauces

    In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mustard, and barbecue sauce. Stir until well mixed.
