Instructions

Plan my prep
  1. Step 1.Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
  2. Step 2.Divide the ground beef into 2 portions and form loose patties slightly wider than the bun-line of lettuce; press a shallow dimple into the center of each.
  3. Step 3.Season both sides generously with the salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4.Heat the bacon skillet over medium-high. Sear the patties for 3 to 4 minutes without moving them to build a crust.
  5. Step 5.Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes for medium, laying a cheddar slice on each patty in the last minute to melt.
  6. Step 6.Rest the patties 2 minutes while you stack 2 lettuce leaves per burger as the base.
  7. Step 7.Spread mayo and mustard on the lettuce, then add the patty, bacon, tomato and onion.
  8. Step 8.Top with more lettuce leaves, wrap tightly in parchment, and serve.
