Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 pieces bacon strips
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 unit large tomato, sliced
- 8 leaves large romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.5 unit red onion, sliced into rings
- 0.5 cup dill pickles, sliced
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Divide into four equal portions and shape into patties.
Using the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking the beef patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese quickly.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and mustard together. Set aside.
Remove the patties and let them rest for a few minutes.
To assemble the burgers, start with a large romaine lettuce leaf, add a cheese-topped beef patty, followed by tomato slices, onion rings, crispy bacon, and sliced dill pickles.
Drizzle a spoonful of the mayo-mustard sauce over the top and cover with another lettuce leaf to complete the burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb bacon and cheese burger!
