Method

Prepare the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, and onion into rings. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

Cook the Burger Patties

  1. 3

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and form into two equal patties.

  2. 4

    Grill 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.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place two slices of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread mayonnaise, add a layer of lettuce, place the cheese-covered patty, add bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with ketchup and mustard.

  3. 8

    Finish the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun over the assembled ingredients. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
