Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patties

    In the same skillet, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of aged cheddar on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet until golden brown.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Burger Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of the burger sauce on the bottom bun. Add the lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheddar, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and red onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
