1
Prepare the Brown Sugar Bacon
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Coat the Bacon
Sprinkle brown sugar and black pepper evenly over both sides of the thick-cut bacon slices.
3
Bake the Bacon
Place the bacon on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

4
Cook the Beef Patties
While the bacon is baking, shape the ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
5
Add the Cheese
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of white cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
6
Prepare the Buns
Slice the brioche buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
7
Assemble the Burgers
On the bottom half of each bun, layer the iceberg lettuce followed by a beef patty topped with melted cheese, a generous spoonful of tomato jam, and a handful of Buck's Fried Pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
