Method

Prepare the Burger Pattys

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 3

    Fry the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Grill the Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Patties

    Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon slices, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
