Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 4 slices Bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces Large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 medium Tomato
- 50 grams Dill pickles
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 2 cm thick.
Place a large skillet or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In the same skillet, add the beef patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar cheese on each. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the meat is cooked to your preferred doneness and the cheese is melted.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables by slicing the tomato and the dill pickles into thin rounds.
To assemble the burger, place a lettuce leaf on a plate as the base. Top with a beef patty, followed by a slice of crispy bacon, a few slices of tomato, a few pickle slices, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise and mustard each.
Top with another lettuce leaf to complete the burger.
Serve each burger with a side of your favorite low-carb toppings or enjoy as is.
