Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (90% lean)
- 4 slices Low sodium bacon
- 4 slices Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 4 Whole wheat burger buns
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 Beefsteak tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with black pepper and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Cook the low sodium bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then set aside on paper towels to drain the excess fat.
Drizzle olive oil on the grill or grill pan to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Two minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Slice the red onion and beefsteak tomato into thin slices.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a grilled patty with melted cheese.
Add two slices of low sodium bacon on top of each patty.
Place a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion on top of the bacon.
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium bacon and cheese burger!
