Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the peppered bacon strips until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce and Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, brush the patties generously with BBQ sauce and place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the hamburger buns lightly. On each bun bottom, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the BBQ cheeseburger patty, crispy bacon strips, tomato slices, and onion slices. Top with the bun lid.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the BBQ bacon cheeseburgers hot with your favorite sides.
