Toppings

Buns

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 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. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 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.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

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

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden.

  2. 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.

  3. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and press down gently to secure. Serve immediately.
