Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, onion, and pickles.

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

Cooking

    In the same pan used for bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

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

  3. 6

    Toast the Buns

    In a separate skillet, lightly toast the hamburger buns until golden brown.

Assembly

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread mayonnaise, then layer with lettuce, a beef patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, onion, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste.

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
