Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to incorporate the spices evenly through the beef.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the burger buns, as they will shrink when cooked.
Step 3
In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
Step 4
Using the same pan, if desired, grill the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings.
Step 6
Toast the burger buns in a toaster or on a pan for about 1 minute until slightly golden.
Step 7
To assemble the burgers, spread a layer of ketchup and mayonnaise on each side of the toasted buns.
Step 8
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cheese-topped burger patty, a slice of crispy bacon, a tomato slice, and a few rings of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious beef bacon and cheese burgers!
