Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix in the minced garlic and form into two equal patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for bacon, add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. During the last minute, top each patty with asiago and mozzarella cheese to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, melt butter in another skillet and toast the burger buns until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread Caesar dressing, place the cheeseburger patty, top with crispy bacon, and finish with the top half of the bun.
