Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

  2. 4

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns on the grill or skillet until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cheese-topped patty on top, followed by crumbled bacon, sliced pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced tomato. Top with ketchup and mustard, then cover with the other half of the bun.
