2 pounds really good quality ground beef from pasture-raised cattle – don’t go any leaner than 90%, try for 85% (if you’re up for it, you could grind your own from beef chuck, either way, I still suggest looking for pasture raised meat if you can)
salt and pepper
6 slices of extra sharp cheddar (I like Cabot’s)
6 thick slices of a good tomato (I like Brandywine, in season)
6 strips of applewood smoked bacon, each cut in half
1-2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
6 fresh challah or brioche rolls (the key is to use rolls made from an egg-dough), cut in half and spread lightly with butter
