Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 8 slices Bacon (thick cut)
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 whole Fresh jalapenos
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato (sliced)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly incorporated.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Cook the bacon in the skillet or on the grill pan until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Grill or cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt the cheese.
While the patties and bacon cook, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado and jalapenos. Remove seeds from the jalapenos if you prefer less heat.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt to create a simple guacamole spread.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a cooked burger patty with melted cheese.
Add two slices of crispy bacon per burger, followed by slices of fresh jalapeno and a generous spoonful of the avocado spread.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
