Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 4 buns hamburger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 small onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal parts and shape them into patties about 1-inch thick. Ensure the center is slightly indented to prevent bulging during cooking.
Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the bacon strips in the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
In the same skillet, or on the grill, cook the beef patties. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium doneness, or until desired doneness is achieved.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into thin slices.
Toast the hamburger buns until lightly golden, either on the grill or using a toaster.
Assemble the burgers: Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top.
Add the cheeseburger patty onto the tomatoes, then layer with crispy bacon strips, onion slices, and a tablespoon of ketchup and mustard.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
