1
Mix the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patty
Shape the mixture into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of the patty to help it cook evenly.

3
Cook the Beef Patty
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patty for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
4
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cover to melt.

5
Cook the Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.
6
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the lettuce leaf and slice the tomato into 2 rounds.

7
Assemble the Burger
Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the burger bun. Top with crispy bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices. Finally, place the top half of the bun over the toppings.
