Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean or slightly fatty)
  • 6 slices bacon

Cheese & Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Produce & Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup diced onion (raw or sautéed)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pickles

Condiments & Seasonings

  • Ketchup, to taste
  • Mustard, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Other

  • 8 taco shells (hard or soft)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Prepare the Beef: Using the same skillet, add the ground beef. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking the meat up for even texture.
  3. Assemble Cheese Melt: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot cooked beef. Cover the skillet briefly to let the cheese melt into a gooey layer.
  4. Prepare Toppings: Chop onions and dice pickles. Have ketchup and mustard ready for assembling.
  5. Build Your Tacos: Warm the taco shells briefly to make them flexible and aromatic. Layer cheesy beef mixture, crispy bacon, onions, pickles, then drizzle with ketchup and mustard for that classic cheeseburger flavor.

Notes

  • Use medium heat when cooking bacon to ensure even crispness without burning.
  • Let the cooked beef rest off heat for a minute to retain juiciness.
  • Warm taco shells before assembling for better texture and flavor.
  • Place cheese on hot beef to melt perfectly before adding other ingredients.
  • Choose fresh bacon and sharp cheddar cheese for best flavor.
