Bacon Cheeseburger

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 2 equal patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, layer lettuce, tomato slice, cooked patty with cheese, bacon, onion rings, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
