Quarter Pounder with Cheese Deluxe Bacon Recipe

American · Main course · 27 min total

A homemade version of the classic fast-food burger, featuring a juicy quarter-pound beef patty, melted American cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh toppings on a soft bun.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
2. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions (6 oz each). Shape into patties slightly larger than the buns, season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill or pan-fry patties over high heat for 4 minutes per side for medium. In the last minute, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
4. Toast buns on the grill or in a skillet until lightly golden.
5. Assemble burgers: spread mayonnaise on bottom bun, then add lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, patty with cheese, bacon, and top bun spread with ketchup and mustard.
6. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For best results, use freshly ground beef with 20% fat.
• Let patties rest for 2 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
• Customize with extra toppings like jalapeños or barbecue sauce.
