Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef Patty

    Form the ground beef into a patty and season both sides with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, cook the beef patty over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Melt the Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking the beef patty, place the cheddar cheese slices on top of the patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the hamburger bun, spread ketchup and mustard. Add the cooked beef patty with melted cheese, top with crispy bacon, pickles, and optional onion slices. Place the top half of the bun on the burger.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Quarter Pounder® with Cheese Bacon!
