Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hardwood smoked bacon until crispy. Once done, remove and let drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of the burger bun, place the lettuce, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese. Top with crispy bacon, BBQ sauce, tomato slices, and onion rings before placing the top bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Smokehouse Cheeseburger with fries or tots on the side.
