Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slices Bacon
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 large Tomato
- 8 slices Pickle slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the bacon strips in a cold pan and turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy, turning occasionally, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Grill the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium, or to your desired doneness.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to allow the cheese to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the condiment mixture by whisking together Dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Slice the tomato into 8 thin slices.
To assemble, take two lettuce leaves and place them on a plate, slightly overlapping to form a base.
Place a cheeseburger patty on top of the lettuce, followed by a slice of bacon, two slices of tomato, and two pickle slices.
Drizzle a small amount of the mustard-mayonnaise mixture over the toppings.
Top with two more lettuce leaves, again slightly overlapping.
Repeat with the remaining burger patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Bacon Cheeseburgers.
