Ingredients

1.5 lbs. 80/20 ground beef
Salt and pepper or burger seasoning
8 slices bacon
4 slices cheddar cheese
4 slices Swiss cheese
4 sesame seed buns
Ketchup
Mayonnaise
Tomato slices
Thin sliced red onion
Lettuce

Instructions

Fry the bacon in a skillet or bake in the oven until crispy. Set aside.
Using your hands, shape the ground beef into 3-4 oz. sized balls. If you prefer not to weigh them, divide the beef into 6 or 8 equal sized portions, depending on if you want to make three double cheeseburgers or four.
Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat. Turn the vent hood on and the smoke alarms off. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil (or leftover bacon grease!) to the skillet. You'll have plenty of fat after the first round of patties are cooked.
Place 2-3 burger balls in the pan, then use a large, flat spatula to immediately press them down into a thin patty (about ¼ inch thick). It’s important to do this right after the patty hits the skillet, before it has started cooking. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper.
Flip the burger once the upper side begins to change color. Season the other side, then top with cheese. The second side will only take a minute or two to finish.
Remove the burgers from the skillet, and repeat with remaining patties.
To assemble, slather ketchup on the bottom of one bun, followed by one patty, then the second patty (with different cheese, if desired), then the bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and/or pickles. Slather the top bun with mayonnaise and sandwich together.
