Bacon Burger Recipe

Bacon Burger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare 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

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

3. 3

   Cook the Burgers

   In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each burger patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese is melting, you can toast the burger buns in a separate pan or on the grill.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, red onion, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the bacon burgers hot with your favorite side dish.
