California Burger Ingredients

Method

California Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patties

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Avocado

    While the burgers are cooking, slice the avocado into thin pieces.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Layer lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheddar, crispy bacon, sliced avocado, tomato slices, and an onion ring. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the California burgers immediately with your favorite side dishes.
