Burger Patties

Toppings

Bun

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Mixing the Beef

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shaping the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

    Cooking the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Grilling the Patties

  1. 4

    Cooking the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Melting the Cheese

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

Toasting the Buns

  1. 6

    Toasting the Buns

    Spread butter on the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Toast them in a skillet or on the grill until golden brown.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Layering the Ingredients

    Layer the bottom half of each toasted bun with lettuce leaves, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, and onion slices.

  2. 8

    Completing the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and press down gently before serving.
