Baconator energy, weeknight skillet

Square, not fussy

Wendy's square patties are a mood. I smash two thin ones and refuse to garnish.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces beef, two smash patties
• Six slices thick bacon
• American cheese, mayo, ketchup, toasted bun

Method

1. Bacon first. Render it until the edges lace. Save a spoon of fat.
2. Smash the beef in that fat. Cheese immediately on the flip.
3. Bun, mayo, patty, bacon, patty, ketchup, bun. No lettuce to hide behind.

Heavy, honest, and gone in six bites.
