Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices non-dairy cheese slices (coconut-based)
- 1 large avocados
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 8 large lettuce leaves
Instructions
Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, remove bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grass-fed ground beef, coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches in diameter.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached.
Place a slice of non-dairy cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of grilling to allow it to melt slightly.
While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion.
To assemble the burgers, place a large lettuce leaf on a plate, followed by a grilled patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of bacon, avocado slices, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Cover with another large lettuce leaf to complete the burger.
Serve immediately, enjoying the burger while it's hot and fresh.
