Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 blend for juiciness
  • 4 slices of bacon thick cut for extra flavor
  • 4 burger buns toasted for added texture
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese optional, for cheeseburgers
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Your favorite toppings lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles

Equipment

  • Spatula
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper.
  3. Form the mixture into four equal patties.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
  6. Carefully flip the patties and add the crispy bacon on top.
  7. If using cheese, place a slice on top of each patty after flipping.
  8. During the last few minutes of cooking, place the burger buns cut-side down on the grill.

Notes

Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
