Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patty

    Season the 8 oz Angus ground beef patty with salt and pepper on both sides. Form it into a round patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the applewood smoked bacon slices until crispy. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patty

    Using the same skillet or a grill, cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger bun on the grill for about 1 minute. On the bottom half of the bun, place the lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, bacon slices, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the bacon cheeseburger alongside a serving of fries.
