Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Season Patty
Season the Angus beef patty with salt and pepper to taste on both sides.

Cook Patty
Place the seasoned patty on the grill/skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Cook Bacon
In a separate skillet, cook the cherrywood bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 4-6 minutes.
