Boil the bacon for about 5-7 minutes.
Give it a rough chop and then make a pile on a cast iron pan or flattop grill. Make it the same diameter that you want the final patty, but 2-3 times as thick.
Place a weight or lid on the patty while it cooks for 3-4 minutes, and when it is golden brown on the edges, give it a flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
