Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush the vegetarian burger patties and vegetarian bacon strips lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Place the vegetarian burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until heated through and slightly charred.
In the last couple of minutes of cooking the patties, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty, close the grill lid, or cover the grill pan, allowing the cheese to melt.
Meanwhile, place the vegetarian bacon strips on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the tomato into thick slices and the red onion into thin rings.
Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, until lightly browned.
To assemble the burgers, spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise.
Add the cooked burger patty with melted cheese, followed by two strips of crispy vegetarian bacon.
Top with a tomato slice and some onion rings.
Spread one tablespoon of ketchup on the top half of the bun and place it on the onion rings to complete the burger.
Season each assembled burger with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite sides.
