Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the bacon slices on the baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Slice the tomato and onion into thin rounds and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and divide the mixture into four equal parts, shaping each into a patty, roughly 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free buns in a separate pan or toaster oven.
Assemble the burgers by spreading ketchup and mustard on each side of the toasted buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cheese-topped patty, 2 strips of bacon, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
