Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 strips Bacon strips
- 4 whole Burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
- 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp Ketchup
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Be careful not to over-mix as it could result in dense burgers.
Step 3
Divide the seasoned beef into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Place the formed patties onto the preheated grill or pan. Cook on one side for about 3-4 minutes until a crust forms, then flip.
Step 5
As the burgers cook, lay out bacon strips on another pan or section of the grill and cook until they are crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
Step 6
During the last 2 minutes of cooking the patties, place a cheese slice on each patty, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Step 7
Simultaneously, toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster if preferred.
Step 8
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of ketchup on the cut side of each bun bottom.
Step 9
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun followed by the burger patty topped with cheese, adding two crispy bacon strips, then a slice of tomato.
Step 10
Top it with the bun cover and serve immediately while warm, alongside your favorite sides.
