Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the 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 the spices are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 3

    Fry Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Once done, place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

Cook the Burger Patty

  1. 4

    Grill Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip them and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patty reaches your desired doneness.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon strips, tomato slice, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
