Burger Ingredients

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of ground beef, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of black pepper. Mix gently and divide the mixture into two equal portions. Form each portion into a patty that is about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side or until browned. Flip the patties and place 2 oz of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

Cooking the Bacon and Preparing the Toppings

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, add 4 slices of bacon. Cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bacon is cooking, thinly slice 1 medium onion and 1 medium tomato. Rinse and pat dry 1 leaf of lettuce.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of bacon, a few slices of onion, and a slice of tomato. Add the lettuce leaf, then drizzle with 1 tbsp of ketchup and 1 tbsp of mustard. Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the bacon cheeseburgers immediately while hot, with your favorite side dish.
