1
Prepare the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
2
Form the Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two burger patties.
3
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
5
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns in the skillet until golden brown.
6
Assemble the Burger
On the bottom half of each bun, place the cheese-topped patty, two slices of bacon, an onion ring, and drizzle BBQ sauce on top. Cover with the top half of the bun.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
