Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Season the Patty

    Season the ground beef patty with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Patty

    Place the seasoned beef patty on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patty and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Bacon and Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place the double-smoked bacon on the grill to crisp up. Also, add the cheese on top of the patty to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Kaiser Roll

    While the patty is finishing, place the sesame seed Kaiser roll on the grill for about 1 minute until toasted.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of the toasted Kaiser roll. Place the patty with melted cheese on top, followed by the crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the roll.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burger immediately with your choice of sides.
