Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cook the plant-based burger patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and heated through.
While the patty cooks, heat the vegan bacon slices in a separate pan or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until crispy.
Toast the burger bun halves on the skillet until golden brown on the inside, about 1-2 minutes.
Once the patty is cooked, place a slice of vegan cheddar cheese on top and cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds to melt the cheese slightly.
Spread 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce on each toasted bun half.
Assemble the burger: Start with the bottom bun, followed by lettuce leaves, a tomato slice, pickles, the cheesy burger patty, the crispy onion rings, vegan bacon slices, and finally, the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy this smoky and satisfying vegetarian Western Bacon Cheeseburger!
