Preheat a grill to high.

In a small bowl, mix the beef, bacon, and onion until well combined.

Shape the beef into a patty about 1/2 inch larger in diameter than the bun.

Grill the burger 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness is reached.

Just before the burger is done, place the bun halves, insides face down, on a top grill rack or away from open flame to toast them.
8

Add the cheese atop the patty to melt, 15 to 30 seconds.

Place the toasted bun bottom on a plate.
10

Add the burger patty, the lettuce, and the tomato slices.
