Bacon Burger
A hearty beef burger seasoned right before cooking and topped with crispy bacon and melted cheddar - salting the patties just before they hit the pan, not while mixing, is what keeps ground beef tender instead of dense and springy.

Ingredients
- •1 1/2 lb ground beef
- •Salt and pepper to taste
- •8 slices bacon, cooked
- •4 slices cheddar cheese
- •4 hamburger buns
Steps
- 1.Form the ground beef into four patties, season generously with salt and pepper just before cooking, and press a shallow dimple into the center of each - salting early toughens the meat, and the dimple keeps the patties from puffing into a dome.
- 2.Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, topping with cheddar cheese near the end to melt.
- 3.Top each patty with two slices of crispy bacon.
- 4.Serve on buns.
