Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and ketchup to create a quick burger sauce. Adjust the quantities if you prefer more or less sauce on your burger.
Brush the vegetarian beef-style patties and bacon strips lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the vegetarian patties on the preheated grill or skillet for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are well cooked and browned.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking the patties, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to allow it to melt.
Meanwhile, cook the vegetarian bacon strips in the skillet or on the grill according to package instructions, usually about 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy.
Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
To assemble the burgers, spread a tablespoon of the mayonnaise-ketchup mix on each half of the toasted buns.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheddar cheese.
Add two crispy vegetarian bacon strips on top of each patty.
Layer with slices of tomato, onion, and some pickles.
Finish by placing the top bun over the assembled ingredients.
Serve immediately while warm with your choice of sides.
