Big Bacon Classic Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

A hearty burger inspired by the classic fast-food favorite, featuring a juicy beef patty, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and fresh toppings on a soft bun.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
• 8 slices bacon
• 4 slices American cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 4 slices tomato
• 1/2 cup sliced pickles
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Form the ground beef into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
3. Grill or pan-fry the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium. During the last minute, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover to melt.
4. Toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.
5. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, then ketchup and mustard on the top bun. Assemble each burger with lettuce, tomato, patty with cheese, bacon, and pickles.

Tips

• Use 80/20 ground beef for the juiciest patties.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
• Customize with additional toppings like onion rings or jalapeños.
