Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (lean, 85% lean)
- 4 slices Low-sodium bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (low-sodium, sliced)
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Onion (sliced rings)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a patty.
In a non-stick skillet or on a grill heated to medium heat, cook the low-sodium bacon slices until crisp. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Using the same skillet or grill, add the avocado oil and cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Place a slice of low-sodium cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
While the patties are cooking, toast the whole wheat buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a cooked patty, followed by a slice of cooked bacon, a slice of tomato, and a few onion rings.
Finish with the top half of the bun. Serve the burgers immediately while warm.
