Directions

- Place the burger patties on the griddle and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
- Add a slice of Havarti cheese to each patty during the last minute of cooking and allow it to melt.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the bottom buns. Top each with two pieces of bacon and a couple of burger pickle slices.
