1
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
2
Form Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

3
Cook Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

4
Cook Patties
In the same skillet used for the bacon, add the burger patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding a slice of cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

5
Toast Buns
While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6
Layer Ingredients
On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
