Burger Patties

Cheese

Toppings

Buns

Method

Prepare the Patties

  1. 1

    Mix and Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

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

Add Cheese and Bacon

  1. 3

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of pepper jack cheese and one slice of American cheese on each patty. Cover the grill or skillet to melt the cheese.

  2. 4

    Cook Bacon

    If using raw bacon, cook until crispy. If using pre-cooked bacon pieces, simply add them to the patties to warm through.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Layer the Ingredients

    Spread mustard on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cheesy patty on top, followed by a generous amount of bacon pieces, pickles, fried onions, lettuce, and tomato slices.

  3. 7

    Complete the Burger

    Cover with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
