Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 burger buns
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the 4 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp ketchup, and 1 tsp mustard until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, gently combine the 1 lb ground beef with the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Shape into 4 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium, or until browned and cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Toast the 4 burger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden. Spread the sauce on the bottom halves, add the patties, top with bacon, and close the buns.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately while hot.
