Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  2. 2

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into patties, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent puffing.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 3

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

Cooking the Burger Patties

  1. 4

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

  2. 5

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

Burger Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the burger buns in the skillet for about 1 minute until golden.

  2. 7

    On the bottom bun, layer the lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, bacon strips, tomato slices, and pickles.

  3. 8

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun, then place it on top of the assembled burger.

  4. 9

    Serve immediately with your favorite side.
