Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 slices red onion
- Ketchup and mustard to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, slightly larger than the buns. Season with salt and pepper.
- Grill or pan-sear patties over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
- Toast buns on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.
- Assemble burgers: place lettuce, tomato, and onion on bottom bun. Add patty with cheese, then 2 slices of bacon. Spread ketchup and mustard on top bun. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra flavor, mix Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef before forming patties.
- Let patties rest for 2 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- Store leftover cooked patties in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet.
