Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
- 4 slices Whole30-compliant bacon
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 medium Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Whole30-compliant)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into two equal parts and shape into patties, ensuring they are slightly larger than the size of the buns as they will shrink during cooking.
Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook the bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Slice the tomato and red onion thinly and set aside. Peel and slice the avocado.
Once the grill is hot, place the burger patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium, or until desired doneness.
To assemble the burgers, lay two large lettuce leaves on each plate to form a wrap.
Place the cooked burger patty on each lettuce wrap, top with bacon, tomato slices, onion slices, and avocado. Add a dollop of Dijon mustard.
Wrap the lettuce around the burger to hold all the toppings inside and serve immediately.
