Delicious Bacon Cheddar Burger Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)
  • 4 slices bacon (crispy cooked)
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, your preference)
  • 4 buns burger buns (toasted if desired)
  • 1 tbsp ketchup (for serving)
  • 1 tbsp mustard (for serving)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then form it into 4 equal patties.

    Make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.
  2. Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Reserve some bacon grease for cooking the burgers for extra flavor.
  3. Cook the Burgers

    In the same skillet, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side.

    Add cheddar cheese on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  4. Toast the Buns

    While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or on a grill.

    Lightly butter the buns for extra flavor.
  5. Assemble the Burgers

    Place each burger patty on a bun, top with crispy bacon, and add ketchup and mustard if desired.

    Feel free to add lettuce, tomato, or pickles for extra toppings.
