Optional Garnishes

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill or pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    After flipping, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the patties reach desired doneness.

Cooking the Bacon

  1. 6

    Cook Bacon

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

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast Buns

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  2. 8

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

  3. 9

    Layer the Patty

    Place the cooked beef patty with melted cheese on top of the BBQ sauce.

  4. 10

    Add Bacon

    Layer the crispy bacon strips on top of the cheese.

  5. 11

    Add Optional Garnishes

    Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices, if using. Finish with the top half of the bun.
