This recipe guides you through making a classic bacon cheeseburger, featuring a juicy beef patty, crispy beef bacon, melted cheese, and fresh toppings, all nestled in a soft bun.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 lean)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 slices beef bacon
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 pickle slices

Instructions

  1. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and form into patties, slightly larger than the buns. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the beef bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Cook the patties for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
  4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to make a special sauce.
  7. Assemble the burgers: spread the special sauce on both halves of the toasted buns. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cheeseburger patty, two slices of crispy beef bacon, tomato slices, red onion, and pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce into the ground beef before forming patties.
  • Adjust the cooking time for the patties based on your preferred doneness.
  • Experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or Swiss.
  • To make it a double bacon cheeseburger, add an extra patty and more bacon.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings like jalapeños or grilled mushrooms.
