1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Chop the red onion finely and slice the tomato into rounds. Set aside.
2
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels.
3
Form the Patty
In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form it into two equal patties, about ½ inch thick.
4
Cook the Burger Patties
In the same skillet used for bacon, add olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Once hot, add the beef patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired doneness.
5
Add Cheese
In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle bleu cheese crumbles on top of each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
6
Assemble the Burger
Toast the burger buns if desired. On the bottom half of each bun, place a patty with melted bleu cheese, followed by two slices of bacon, some chopped red onion, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
