Method

Prepare Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cook Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

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

Cook Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the burger patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble Burgers

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet or toaster.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a burger patty. Top with crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, onion, ketchup, and mustard. Place the top bun on and press gently.
