Harry's Classic Bacon Cheese Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, about ¾ inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for bacon, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty, allowing it to melt.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese melts, slice the burger buns in half and toast them in the skillet until golden, about 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, place a leaf of lettuce, the beef patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles. Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun and place it on top.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
