Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 8 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of American cheese
- 4 sesame seed burger buns

Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Grill or pan-fry the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover until melted.
- Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers: spread mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add the beef patty with melted cheese, top with 2 slices of bacon, and finish with ketchup before placing the top bun on.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
