Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the 4 patties into the skillet and press them flat with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip. Add cheese to each patty and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Once done, set the patties aside and cover them. In the same skillet, cook bacon to your desired crispness.
