Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns in another pan or on a grill until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On each bun bottom, layer lettuce, a patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with the bun lid.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the deluxe bacon cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side.
