Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a round patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing while cooking.

Cooking Bacon and Patties

  1. 3

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Cook Burger Patties

    In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the burger patties. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast Buns

    While the patties are cooking, cut the burger buns in half and lightly toast them in the skillet or in a toaster.

  2. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, a cheese-covered patty, crispy bacon strips, tomato slices, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
