This bacon cheeseburger recipe gives instructions for both a chicken or a beef burger, that you cook in a skillet on the stove top. Of course burgers can also be made on the grill for the barbecue enthusiast.
The Burgers
In a skillet, cut the bacon strips in halves and cook until nice and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and put onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Set aside until needed.
Combine beef (or chicken), eggs, onion, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, baking soda, pepper and oregano in large bowl; mix well. Shape into 4 patties.
Heat butter a skillet until butter melts; add patties.
Cook until patties are no longer pink in center, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
Place 1 slice cheese on top of each patty.
Cook until it melts a little.
Put bun halves on the skillet for a few seconds, just to slightly warm them.
Assembly
Spread each bun with mayonnaise on one half, and mustard on another; arrange 1 lettuce leaf on bottom half of each bun.
Top with a meat or chicken patty, bacon slice, tomato slices, a dollop of ketchup and top half of bun.
*Note-You can also cook the meat on the barbecue.
