Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, mixing gently.
  2. Divide the beef into equal portions and shape into ¾-inch thick patties, making a slight indent in the center.
  3. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy, or bake in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes.
  4. Grill patties for 5-7 minutes per side, until they reach desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
  5. Add cheddar cheese on top of patties for the last minute, covering to melt.
  6. Assemble burgers on toasted buns with patties, crispy bacon, and secret sauce. Add optional toppings if desired.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
