Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt and pepper, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the seasoned beef into equal portions and shape into patties, creating an indent in the center.
Cook the bacon over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes until crispy.
Grill the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side until done.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty one minute before they're done cooking.
Assemble the burgers with toasted buns, patties, bacon, and drizzle with sauce.
Serve immediately with sides like crispy fries or salad.
