1
Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and slice the tomato and onion. Rinse the lettuce leaves and set aside.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
3
Form the Patties
In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and form into patties that are slightly larger than the burger buns.
4
Cook the Patties
In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
6
Toast the Buns
While the cheese is melting, split the burger buns and toast them in a separate pan or on a grill until golden brown.
7
Assemble the Burgers
Spread the special sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the lettuce, cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and onion slices on the bun. Top with the other half of the bun.
8
Serve
Serve the Gerst Haus Burgers immediately while hot with your choice of side.
