Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, layer mixed greens, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a generous spread of chipotle aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
