  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

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

    In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high. Cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip.

    Add Cheese

    Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    While the cheese is melting, toast the burger buns in the same skillet until golden brown.

  6. 6
