Burger Components

Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Bacon

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

2

Prepare the Patties

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into four equal portions and shape into patties.

3

Cook the Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the burger is cooked to your liking.

4

Toast the Buns

While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5

Assemble the Burgers

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then the burger patty with melted cheese, followed by two strips of bacon, tomato slices, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, and top with the other half of the bun.
