Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Bacon

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Flip the bacon occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Drain the Bacon

    Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Prepare the Hamburger Patty

  1. 3

    Form the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patty

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain their juices.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    If desired, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a layer of lettuce, followed by a cooked hamburger patty, two slices of bacon, a slice of tomato, and top with pickles. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.
