INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground beef (or plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian option)
4 burger buns
4 slices cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon
1 small onion, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
4 lettuce leaves
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large potatoes (for fries)
Olive oil (for frying or baking)
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking fries. Cut potatoes into thin fries, toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until crispy.
In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Shape the ground beef into 4 patties, season with salt and pepper.
Cook the patties on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine ketchup, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to make the sauce.
Assemble the burger: Spread sauce on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, a cheesy patty, crispy bacon, tomato, and onion slices. Top with the second bun.
