Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat.
Slice the tomatoes and red onion into thin slices.
Lightly oil the grill or griddle with a tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the vegan burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and heated through.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking the patties, place a slice of vegan cheese on top of each patty and cover loosely with a lid or foil to help the cheese melt.
As the patties cook, heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat and cook the vegan bacon strips until crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Toast the burger buns on the grill or griddle until golden brown, about 1 minute.
To assemble the burger, spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf, then add a tomato slice, followed by a pickle slice, and a ring of red onion.
Place the cheeseburger patty on top of the stacked vegetables.
Add two strips of vegan bacon on top of each patty.
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce.
Finish by topping with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegan Cheese and Bacon Burger.
