Bacon Cheeseburger With Fries & Smores Milkshake Recipe

Bacon Cheeseburger

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

2. 2

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the meat into two equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure they’re slightly larger than the buns as they will shrink while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for the bacon (or a grill), cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

4. 4

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns in the skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer the lettuce, cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
