Burger Patties

Toppings

Buns

Method

Preparing the Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center for even cooking.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Cooking the Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Cook Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    Flip the patties over and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burger is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 8

    Layer the Burger

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