Rach shares a new twist on bacon cheeseburgers—plus her top three burger-making tips. 

Rach's Top Tips For The Best Burgers Ever 

- Use a hot flat surface, preferably a preheated over medium-high heat cast iron skillet. 

- Make patties thinner at center than edges for even cooking and score meat into portions before forming patties.  

- Toppings should be applied in even layers, edge to edge so that each bite is the same as the next. 

She tops these burgers with steak sauce and her personal favorites are A1, HP Sauce or XO sauce with this burger, but any kind will do.  

May we also suggest that you wash this juicy burger down with John's Pre-Prohibition Martini—a fun twist on a classic combo.
