Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Brush each patty with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
Place the burger patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.
During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of dairy-free cheddar cheese on each patty, and cover the grill to help the cheese melt.
While the patties are cooking, cook the dairy-free bacon slices on a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices and set aside.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or use a toaster for a light crisp.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a cheese-covered patty, two pieces of crispy dairy-free bacon, a slice of tomato, a couple of onion rings, and then finally the top bun.
Serve warm with ketchup and mustard on the side or spread directly on the buns as desired.
