Instructions

  1. Fry bacon slices until cooked. Drain on paper towel. Cut in half.
  2. Prepare your burger mixture. In a mixing bowl add your meat, salt, pepper and whichever spices you have decided to include. I usually use a heaping tablespoon of burger seasoning or steak seasoning. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Shape patties as thick or as thin as you want them. I try and make them the size of my bread.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook them until done. Set aside.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. Do this one or two at a time, depending on the size of your pan. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place the butter sides down on an ungreased frying pan on medium heat.
  2. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheese.
  3. Place the cut slices of bacon on one side or both once the cheese to starts to melt into the slices of bread. Once this happens add a burger on top of one slice of cheese and wait until the bread has become golden brown.
  4. Then, flip the other slice on top of the burger. The cheese will melt onto the burger and will be ready to eat.
  5. Slice sandwich in half and serve.

Notes

  • Avoid pre-sliced or shredded cheese. They contain additives that make the melting more difficult and in turn make for a grilled cheese of lesser quality. Your best bet is to buy block cheese and slice or shred it yourself.
  • Cook long enough to melt the cheese before flipping. The melted cheese holds the bacon in place when you flip the bread over.
  • Feel free to use extra cheese!! My son says there's no such of thing as too much cheese.
