1. Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
2. Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
4. While the patties cook, cook the bacon until crispy and set aside.
5. Place a slice of cheese on each patty and let it melt slightly.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty with cheese on a bun, adding bacon, tomato, ketchup, and mustard.
7. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
