Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 burger buns
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 8 slices of bacon
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Warm up the grill over medium-high heat

Shape the ground beef into 4 burger patties that are all the same size

Add pepper and salt

The burger patties should be cooked for four to five minutes on each side, or until they're done the way you like them

Grill the bacon for about two to three minutes on each side while the burgers are cooking

For the last minute of cooking, put a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each burger and close the grill lid

This will melt the cheese

Put the burger buns on the grill and toast them for one minute, or until they get a little brown

Start by putting a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun

Then add the burger patty with melted cheese, two bacon slices, a tomato slice, and a few red onion slices

Add BBQ sauce to the toppings, and then put the other half of the bun on top
