Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 4 slice Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 slice Bacon strips
- 4 leaf Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 8 slice Pickle slices
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a small indent in the center to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness.
While the patties are cooking, in a separate pan, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, then remove them and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each burger patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds while the cheese is melting.
Assemble the burgers: lay a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a cheesy burger patty, add a slice of tomato, a couple of onion slices, a bacon strip cut in half, two pickle slices, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise.
Cover with another lettuce leaf and hold everything together with a toothpick if needed.
Serve the burgers immediately while hot, and enjoy your low-carb delight!
