Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4. 4

   Add the Cheese

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

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, pickles, onion slices, ketchup, and mustard.

6. 6

   Serve

   Close the burger with the top bun and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
