1
Prepare the Burger Patties
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3
Grill the Patties
In the same skillet, add olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4
Melt the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of aged cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
5
Toast the Pretzel Buns
While the patties are cooking, slice the pretzel buns and toast them lightly in the oven or on a skillet until golden brown.
6
Assemble the Burgers
On the bottom half of each pretzel bun, layer the coleslaw, the cheesy burger patty, crispy bacon, and a drizzle of honey mustard. Top with the other half of the pretzel bun.
7
Serve
Serve immediately with additional honey mustard on the side for dipping, if desired.
