Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Gluten-free buns
- 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 small Red onion
- 12 pieces Pickle slices
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and set aside. Wash the lettuce leaves if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard to create the burger sauce.
Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Add bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Gently form into 4 equal patties, creating a small dimple in the center of each to promote even cooking.
Brush patties with a little olive oil. Cook them in the same skillet or grill with bacon grease for added flavor, about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt. Meanwhile, lightly toast the gluten-free buns on the grill or in a separate pan.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a cheesy beef patty, two slices of bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickle slices.
Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and serve immediately, accompanied by your choice of gluten-free sides.
