Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Grill the Burger Patties

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper, then grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, spread a generous amount of BBQ sauce. Place a cooked burger patty on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Cover with the top half of the burger bun. Serve immediately while hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
