Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Shape into two burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patties

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the cheese is melting, split the burger buns and toast them lightly in a separate pan or on a grill.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

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