Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground Black Angus beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a beef patty with melted cheddar, two slices of crispy bacon, tomato slices, and onion rings. Top with the other half of the bun.
