Tip
Get perfectly cooked bacon by placing the bacon slices on a cold pan and let the bacon heat with the pan. As the pan warms, the bacon will begin to release some of its fats. When it starts to buckle and curl, turn each piece over.
Swaps and substitutions
There are endless ways to adjust and experiment with new flavors in your burger. By changing up a simple topping you can make a big difference. For instance, try to add blue cheese for a sharp and salty element or caramelized onions to give your burger a sweet touch. You can also make your own dip like a tabasco mayonnaise and add some spice and heat to the burger.
