Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese and BBQ Sauce

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and spoon BBQ sauce over the top. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with cheese and BBQ sauce, bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
