Roll the ground beef into a ball and pat it out until it's approximately the same diameter as the bun. 4. Cook meat on hot griddle or frying pan for about 5 minutes per side or until done. Be sure to lightly salt and pepper each side of the patty. 5. Build the burger in the following order, from the bottom up: On Bottom Bun Bacon beef patty American cheese slice 1 to 2 tomato slices lettuce On Top Bun Bacon mayo/mustard ketchup onions 6.

Tidbits If you can find thick-sliced pepper bacon in your supermarket, you can add it to the burger just as you could at the restaurant chain. Cut one slice in half after cooking and place the slices next to each other onto the bottom bun before adding the beef patty. |
