Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

Bacon Cheeseburger Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into two equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾ inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

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

5. 5

   Toast the Buns

   While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them in another skillet or on a grill until golden brown.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each toasted bun, layer lettuce, a burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, and onion slices. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the bacon cheeseburgers immediately with your favorite sides.
