Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the same skillet, drizzle honey over the bacon and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until caramelized.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    While the bacon is cooking, form the ground beef into two equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add lettuce, a slice of tomato, cooked burger patty with melted cheese, caramelized honey bacon, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
