Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'a hamburger that includes bacon' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'bacon' (a cured pork product) with 'burger' (a sandwich with a patty); the first noun simply specifies the topping/ingredient of the second. This noun–noun compounding pattern is highly productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Bacon burger comes from the simple image of a burger topped with strips of bacon. That's why it means 'a hamburger that includes bacon'.
