Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

I grew up in Kansas and, like any good meat-loving Midwestern gal, possess an unyielding appreciation for a medium-rare bacon cheeseburger. I have a hard time convincing myself to order red meat at restaurants on the East Coast (it's expensive, and I'm admittedly snobby about my Kansas cows*) so I had to learn how to make the perfect cheeseburger on my own. After many iterations, here it is — simple, greasy, gooey, and absolutely delicious. *To be fair, I don't even think about touching sushi when I'm back home!
