Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

2. 2

   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 fat.

3. 3

   Cook the Burgers

   In the same skillet, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty to melt.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a slice of tomato, the burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
