Directions

1. Shape ground beef into four 3/4-in.-thick patties. Just before grilling, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 5-7 minutes on each side. Top bun bottoms with burgers. If desired, serve with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon and mayonnaise.
2. Pan-Fried Burgers: In a large skillet, heat 

   1 Tbsp. butter or oil over medium heat. Add burgers; cook until a thermometer reads 160°, 6-8 minutes on each side. 

   Oven-Baked Burgers: Place beef patties on a 
   lightly greased baking sheet. Bake them at 350° 
   until thermometer reads 160°, 15-20 minutes, turning once. 

   Air-Fried Burgers: Place burgers in a single layer on tray in air-fryer basket. Air-fry at 350° until a thermometer reads 160°, 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
