Fry the bacon in a cast iron skillet until crisp, about 4 minutes. Remove bacon but keep bacon grease in the skillet. Form 2 patties and season well with salt and pepper.

Fry the burgers in the hot skillet on one side for about 3 minutes, flip and cook another 3 minutes. Place cheese slices onto each burger and cover with a pan to help cheese melt. Once cooked to your desired liking, remove from heat and serve with tomato and arugula or lettuce if desired.
