Classic Burger Recipe

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.
