Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

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

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, a cooked patty with melted cheese, 2 slices of bacon, and a slice of tomato and onion. Top with ketchup and mustard to taste, and then cover with the top half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the bacon cheeseburgers hot with your favorite sides.
