Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Beef

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    Shape the meat mixture into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of the patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Patty

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the beef patty over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place the American cheese and Tillamook cheddar cheese on top of the patty to melt.

Sautéing the Onions

  1. 6

    Prepare the Onion

    Slice the medium onion into thin rings.

  2. 7

    Cook the Onion

    In the skillet with the bacon fat, add the sliced onions and sauté over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 8

    Prepare the Bun

    Toast the burger bun lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 9

    Build the Burger

    Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of the bun, top with the sautéed onions, crispy bacon, and drizzle with BBQ sauce. Place the top half of the bun on to finish.
