Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 8 slices Bacon
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.25 medium Onion
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 whole Dill pickles
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties, pressing down gently in the center of each patty to make an indentation to help them cook evenly.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, without disturbing, until a good sear forms.
Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each burger. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached and the cheese is melted.
In a separate pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato, onion, and dill pickles thinly.
Assemble the burgers by placing one lettuce leaf as the base on a serving plate, followed by a cooked beef patty with melted cheese, two slices of crispy bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickles. Top with a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise and another leaf of lettuce.
Serve immediately. Enjoy your low-carb, keto-friendly cheese and bacon burgers!
