Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 3

    Fry the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Grill or Fry the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  2. 5

    Add the Cheese

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

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, add crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
