1
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1 inch thick.

3
Cook Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4
Grill Patties
On a preheated grill or skillet, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
5
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

6
Toast Buns
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden.
7
Layer Ingredients
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, two slices of crispy bacon, and drizzle BBQ sauce on top.
8
Complete the Burger
Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to secure. Serve immediately.
