Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Add Cheese and Toppings

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt. Meanwhile, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place the patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of ham, cooked bacon, and a generous drizzle of BBQ sauce. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.
