Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground Angus beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing while cooking.

Cooking the Burger

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties, and place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the patties reach desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are finishing cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or toaster.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon strips, tomato slices, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
