Burger Patties

1 pound Ground Beef

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Watkins garlic powder

Toppings

4 slices Bacon

4 slices Cheddar Cheese

Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cook the Bacon

Fry Bacon

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

Cook the Patties

Grill or Fry Patties

In the same skillet or grill, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Add Cheese

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

Prepare the Buns

Toast Buns

Spread butter on the cut sides of the burger buns and toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

Assemble the Burger

Layer Ingredients

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, sliced tomato, pickles, and onion.

Add Condiments

Spread ketchup and mustard on the top half of the bun, then place it on top of the assembled burger.
