Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

Bacon Cheeseburger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

2. 2

   Shape the Beef Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper to taste. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Beef Patties

   In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns. You can do this in the same skillet for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, a slice of tomato, a slice of onion, and the cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Top with crispy bacon and add ketchup and mustard to taste. Finally, place the top half of the bun on the burger.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the bacon cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a salad.
