Bacon Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into 2 equal portions (about 1/3 pound each) and shape them into patties. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the 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 cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato, and onion. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
