Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Make the Burger Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patties

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    On each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a burger patty with melted cheese. Top with crispy bacon and pickles.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the burgers hot with your favorite sides.
