• In the same preheated skillet cook the burger patties for 3-5 minutes per side (for medium), or until they reach your desired doneness.

Top with your burger patty, 1 slice of crispy bacon, pickles, 1 slice of tomato, red onion or pickled onion, and a bit of mustard.
• Wrap all the ingredients into the lettuce, pierce it with a large toothpick or a cocktail skewer to hold, and serve immediately!
