Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, then form into two equal-sized patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Bacon Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  2. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the beef patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, BBQ sauce, tomato slices, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
