Method

Preparing the Bacon

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Flip occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Drain Excess Fat

    Once cooked, remove bacon from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 3

    Grill the Burger Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

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

Assembling the Burgers

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or on a grill until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer with lettuce, a cooked burger patty with melted cheese, 2 slices of bacon, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard.

  3. 7

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the burger bun and serve immediately.
