Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Burger Mix

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the cooked bacon (chopped into small pieces). Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the skillet and smash them down with a spatula for a crispy sear. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip.

  5. 5

    Add Onions and Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, add the thinly sliced onions on top of each patty and place a slice of cheese over the onions. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place the cooked patties on top, followed by the top half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
