Quick to prepare in just 25 minutes and customizable to your taste, this recipe is a must-try for burger lovers looking to stay on track with their keto lifestyle.
Preheat a grill or stovetop frying pan over medium-high heat.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix well with your hands until fully combined.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Place the bacon slices in a separate large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Place the beef patties on the preheated grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover the grill or pan with a lid to melt the cheese, about 1 minute.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing a mound of mayonnaise on each lettuce leaf, followed by a patty, bacon slice, tomato slice, and red onion slice.
Wrap the lettuce around the burger and serve immediately.
