1
Mix the Patty Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a patty, making them slightly larger than the pretzel rolls as they will shrink while cooking.

3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the thick-cut bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
4
Cook the Burger Patties
In the same skillet, using the bacon drippings, increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip them. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

5
Prepare the Rolls
While the burgers are cooking, slice the pretzel rolls in half and toast them lightly on a separate skillet or in a toaster.
6
Build the Burger
On the bottom half of each pretzel roll, place a cooked burger patty topped with melted cheddar cheese. Add 1 slice of crispy bacon and drizzle honey mustard over the top. Finish by placing the top half of the pretzel roll on the burger.
