Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon and Onion Mixture

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, add diced onion and cook until translucent. Chop the cooked bacon and mix it with the onions.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground chuck, cooked bacon, and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently and shape into two 8oz patties.

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness.

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a patty on each bun, and top with lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Add the top half of the bun.
