Method
Prepare the Patties
Mix the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Cook the Bacon
Fry the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
