Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Burger Patty

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into a patty about 1 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patty

    In the same skillet, cook the burger patty for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding the cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    On the burger bun, spread the house-made BBQ sauce, place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, add the crispy bacon slices, and top with the other half of the bun.
