Steps
- 1Cook bacon in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until deeply crisp, then drain on paper towel.
- 2Season the patties with salt and pepper, then grill in a dry pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side until well-browned.
- 3Add cheese to each patty in the last 30 seconds to melt.
- 4Toast buns cut-side down in a dry pan for 60 seconds until golden.
- 5Stack 2 cheesy patties and 3 bacon slices per bun, then top with lettuce, tomato, and onion.
