Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of Tillamook Cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Cut the challah buns in half and toast them on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer lettuce, a slice of tomato (sliced), the beef patty with melted cheese, 2 slices of bacon, and then cover with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
