- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and let it melt.
Instructions for Burger Assembly:
- While the beef patties are cooking, cook the bacon strips in a separate skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

It is not necessary to clarify that some crispy french fries belong on the side, right?
Whiskey Bacon Burger: Gourmet Twist on The Classic Dish
If you want to elevate the traditional bacon burger to gourmet status, try the whiskey bacon burger. This special twist on the classic dish introduces a subtle but substantial element: BBQ whiskey.
To prepare this unbeatable creation, follow the traditional bacon burger recipe, but with a few delicious modifications. Add a splash of whiskey to the BBQ sauce for a smokier flavor and, if you want to step up the game even more, swap out the regular pickles for jalapeño pickles to achieve the ideal spiciness.
