    Shape the beef into 4 patties a little wider than you want, press a dimple in the center and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Cook the patties in the skillet over medium-high heat 4 minutes per side; add a cheese slice for the last minute and cover to melt.

  4. 4

    Separate large lettuce leaves and stack two or three per burger.

  5. 5

    Build each burger in a lettuce wrap with bacon, tomato, onion, pickles and mayo. Wrap in a strip of parchment so little hands can hold it.
