In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into a patty slightly larger than the hamburger bun.
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the beef patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Place the cheddar cheese slice on the patty during the last minute of cooking to let it melt.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon strips in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Toast the sesame seed hamburger bun until lightly golden. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, and sweet relish to create the burger sauce. Spread this sauce evenly on both the top and bottom bun halves.
Assemble the burger: Start by placing the beef patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun. Layer the crispy bacon strips, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, pickle slices, and onion rings. Top with the sesame seed bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as fries or onion rings, and enjoy your homemade A&W-Style Teen Burger!
