Bacon Cheeseburger

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.

2. 2

   Form the ground beef into a patty slightly larger than the bun. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Cook the beef patty in the same skillet used for bacon over medium-high heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

4. 4

   A minute before the patty is done, place the cheddar cheese on top to melt.

5. 5

   Toast the hamburger buns lightly on a separate pan or in a toaster.

6. 6

   Assemble the cheeseburger by placing the lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the tomato, beef patty with melted cheese, bacon, onion, and pickles.

7. 7

   Spread ketchup and mustard on the top bun to taste.

8. 8

   Place the top bun on the assembled bottom and serve immediately.
