Bacon cheeseburger

This is my favorite way to make a burger at home.

Bacon cheeseburger

Ingredients (serves 1):
1/2 lb ground beef
1 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 pretzel bun
2 slices cheddar cheese
2 slices bacon

1. Mix beef with all seasonings, and mold into a patty.
2. Wrap aluminum foil underneath a rack to catch all dribbles (for easy cleaning), place patty on the rack, and broil on medium until desired doneness. For me, it's about 20 min for medium well (no pink).
3. Cook the bacon according to instructions, then place on a paper towel to dry. Toast the bun. (Since our broiler is under our oven and warms it, I toast the bun in the oven with the insides facing down.)
4. When the patty is done cooking, turn off the broiler, and place cheese over the patty. Let the cheese melt for 2 min.
5. Assemble the burger. From bottom: Bun bottom, patty, cheese, bacon, bun top.
