Method

Preparing the Burger

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patty

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into a burger patty, about 1-inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger

    Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Place the cheddar on the patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 4

    Wrap with Lettuce

    Place the cooked burger patty on a lettuce leaf. Top with crispy bacon, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles.

  2. 5

    Add Condiments

    Drizzle ketchup and mustard to taste. Top with another lettuce leaf to cover.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your protein-style burger!
