Method

Prepare the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns.

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 from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Cook the Burger Patty

  1. 4

    Grill the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  2. 5

    Melt the Cheese

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

Assemble the Burger

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster, if desired.

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread ketchup and mustard to taste. Place the lettuce, cooked burger patty with melted cheese, bacon, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles on top. Finish with the top half of the bun.
