Method

Preparation & Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, slice the tomato into thick slices, and prepare the pickles. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy (about 4-5 minutes). Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burger Patties

    In the same skillet, drain excess bacon grease if necessary, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Increase heat to medium-high and add the burger patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    After flipping the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness.

  6. 6

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and toast them in the skillet until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread 2 tablespoons of yuzu mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cheeseburger patty on top, followed by 2 slices of bacon, onion, tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides. Enjoy!
