Plain Cheeseburger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, a generous scoop of corn salsa, and a sprinkle of crumbled corn tortilla chips. Top with pickled red onions and place the top half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the plain cheeseburgers immediately with extra corn salsa and tortilla chips on the side.
