Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 1 avocado
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds and set aside.
Split the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Using the same skillet with the bacon fat, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
To assemble the burgers, place a large lettuce leaf on each plate. Top each with a beef patty, followed by bacon slices, tomato slices, red onion rounds, and a generous dollop of mashed avocado.
Cover each burger with another lettuce leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Bacon Burger!
