- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
- Toast the sesame seed buns on the grill or in a separate skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce layer on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy patty, crispy bacon, and any additional toppings like tomatoes or pickles. Drizzle with ketchup and top with the other half of the bun.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cheddar Bacon Burger!

- Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for a unique twist.
Easy Variations
- Add sautéed mushrooms and onions for a savory addition.
- Swap out the bacon for crispy fried onion strings for a crunchy texture.
- Use turkey or plant-based patties for a lighter option.
What to Serve With It
