Burger Patty

Toppings

Bun

Method

Prepare Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon Strips

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

Cook Patties

  1. 4

    Cook Burger Patties

    Using the same skillet with bacon grease, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.

  2. 5

    Flip and Add Cheese

    Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your desired doneness.

Assemble Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom bun, layer lettuce leaves, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon strips, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 8

    Finish Assembly

    Place the top bun over the assembled ingredients. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
