Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef (80/20 blend, for juicier patties)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 4 Sesame seed burger buns
• 4 Cheddar cheese slices
• 8 Smoked bacon strips
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp Ketchup
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Iceberg lettuce (shredded)
• 1 Tomato (sliced)
• 8 Dill pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal parts (4 oz patties) and shape them into flat, even rounds that are slightly larger than the size of your buns.

Step 3

Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Fry the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 5

In the same skillet or a preheated grill pan, cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.

Step 6

Toast the sesame seed burger buns in a dry skillet or on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp on the inside.

Step 7

Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create the burger sauce.

Step 8

Assemble the burger: Spread the sauce on the bottom half of the bun. Add a handful of shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, 2 pickle slices, and the cooked burger patty with melted cheddar. Top that with 2 strips of crispy bacon.

Step 9

Place the top bun on the burger and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or onion rings.
