Instructions
1
Prep
Shape the ground beef into a single patty, press a thumb dimple into the centre, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Fry
Lay the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and crisp.
3
Grill
Brush the beef patty with vegetable oil and grill over medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned, laying the cheddar on top to melt.
4
Rest
Let the patty sit on a plate for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute.
5
Plate
Toast the bun halves, spread BBQ sauce on the base, layer lettuce, tomato, and red onion, add the patty and bacon, then cap and serve.
