Bacon Cheeseburger

Step 1

Peel & thinly slice the red onion.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon & cook undisturbed, 2-3 min on each side. Once cooked to your liking, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, keeping the remaining bacon grease in the pan.

Step 3

In the same pan, heat a dab of butter over medium heat. Toast the buns, cut-side down for 1-2 min.

Step 4

In the same pan, add another dab of butter then cook the burger on one side for 2 min over high heat. Season with salt & pepper. Flip & season the other side. Cook for 2 more min then add the cheddar & cover the pan. Turn off the heat & continue cooking for 1 more min, until the cheese is melted.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise & ketchup until smooth.

Step 6

On the bottom half of the toasted bun, spread the sauce. Layer on lettuce, the cheeseburger, bacon slices & red onions. Close the burger with the top bun. Serve & enjoy!
