Ingredients

1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20)
8 slices bacon
4 slices American cheese
4 hamburger buns
4 leaves lettuce
4 slices tomato
4 slices red onion
4 tablespoons ketchup
4 tablespoons yellow mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (6 oz each) and shape into patties about 4 inches wide, making a slight indent in the center. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
In the same skillet, cook patties over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side for medium, or until desired doneness. In the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
Toast buns in the skillet or under a broiler until lightly golden.
Assemble burgers: spread ketchup and mustard on bottom buns, add lettuce, tomato, onion, patty with cheese, and 2 slices of bacon per burger. Top with bun.

Tips

For extra flavor, season patties with Worcestershire sauce or garlic powder.
Let patties rest for 2 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
Store leftover patties and bacon separately; reheat in a skillet.
