Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the seasoned meat into two equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Cooking the Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet, with some of the bacon fat, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, layer lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheese, two crispy bacon strips, and tomato slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the bacon burgers immediately while hot and enjoy!
