Ingredients
For the Burger Patties:
1 lb ground beef (80/20 mix for juiciness)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder

4 strips of crispy bacon
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp butter
For the Buns:
2 sesame seed burger buns
1 tbsp butter

Instructions
Prepare the Patties:
Divide ground beef into two equal portions and shape into patties slightly larger than the buns.
Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook the Bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Grill the Onions:
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onion slices until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside.
Cook the Burger Patties:
Heat the skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Sear patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip and top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and the patty is cooked to your preferred doneness.
Toast the Buns:
Spread butter on the inside of the buns and toast in the skillet until golden.
Assemble the Burgers:
Spread condiments of your choice on the bottom bun. Add the burger patty, grilled onions, bacon strips, and top bun.
Enjoy this juicy, cheesy, bacon-packed burger for the ultimate comfort food experience!
