Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
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.
Season both sides of the patties with salt and black pepper.
Fry the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
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.
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.
Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create the burger sauce.
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.
Place the top bun on the burger and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or onion rings.
