Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the lettuce leaf and slice the tomato into rounds. Set aside. Prepare the bacon by cutting it into smaller pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 3

    Form and Cook the Burger Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties. In the same skillet with bacon drippings, cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  3. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the hamburger bun, layer the crispy bacon, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese. Add lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Drizzle ketchup and mustard on top and cover with the top half of the bun.
