Bacon Cheese Burger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well and form into two equal patties.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

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

3. 3

   Cook the Burgers

   In the same skillet with some bacon drippings, cook the beef patties over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

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

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the cheese melts, cut the burger buns in half and toast them in a separate skillet or in the toaster until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slice, onion slice, and pickles. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Cut the burgers in half if desired, serve with your choice of sides, and enjoy!
