Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the burger buns in another skillet or toaster.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and arugula. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
