Homemade burger with meat patty and bacon

First, fry the bacon until it is browned on both sides. In the pan where the bacon was cooked, sauté the finely chopped onion until golden. Add a clove of garlic and sauté for a couple more minutes.

Add an egg, pepper, and onion with garlic to the minced meat. Mix well. No need to salt, bacon and sauces will enhance the flavors without salt.

Fry the patties in olive oil for 5-7 minutes on each side. After flipping, add the cheese.

In the pan where the patties were cooked, fry the buns. While the buns are browning, prepare the sauce. Make one you like and have in the fridge. You can mix barbecue sauce, ketchup, and a bit of spicy chili sauce. You can also make a mustard sauce (preferably Dijon or grainy) with lemon juice and cream.

Assemble the burger. Generously spread sauce on the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf, tomato, cheese patty, cucumber, and bacon. Don't forget to spread sauce on the top bun and cover the burger.
