INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80% lean for juicier patties)
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 slices cheddar or American cheese
8 slices bacon
4 large hamburger buns, toasted (or 2 buns if stacking all patties in one)
Optional: Lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your favorite sauces (ketchup, mayo, BBQ sauce)
PREPARATION STEPS
Form the Patties: Divide the ground beef into 4-6 equal portions and form into thin patties (about 1/4-inch thick). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
Cook the Patties: In the same skillet (or on a griddle), cook each patty for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice crust. Add a slice of cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt.
Assemble the Burger:
Start with a bottom bun, add a cheesy beef patty, then a slice or two of bacon.
Repeat layers of beef patty, cheese, and bacon until you’ve stacked 2-3 patties per burger.
Finish with the top bun.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the burger as is or add optional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and sauce to customize.
Tips:
For a classic diner taste, toast the buns with a bit of butter in a skillet.
Use a sturdy bun to support the stack if you’re going for an extra-tall burger.
This burger is perfect for serious meat and cheese lovers!
