Ingredients
- 1.5 lb ground beef
- 8 slices bacon
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 sesame seed buns
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Cook the 8 bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- 2
Divide the 1.5 lb ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into thin patties, about 4 inches wide. Season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
- 3
Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 160°F.
- 4
During the last minute of cooking, place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
- 5
Toast the 2 sesame seed buns in the skillet or toaster until golden, about 1-2 minutes.
- 6
Assemble the burgers: place a cheesy patty on each bottom bun, top with 2 slices of bacon, then the second patty, and finish with a lettuce leaf and the top bun. Serve hot.
- 7
Let the burgers rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
