Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties about 1-inch thick. Ensure the center is slightly indented to prevent bulging during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the bacon strips in the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 5
In the same skillet, or on the grill, cook the beef patties. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is achieved.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin slices.
Step 8
Toast the hamburger buns until lightly golden, either on the grill or using a toaster.
Step 9
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top.
Step 10
Add the cheeseburger patty onto the tomatoes, then layer with crispy bacon strips, onion slices, and a tablespoon of ketchup and mustard.
Step 11
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
