Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 4 slices Whole30 compliant bacon
- 4 tbsp Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
- 1 small avocado
- 1 large pickle
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
Place the patties onto the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F.
While the burgers are cooking, fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain excess fat on a paper towel.
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices. Peel and pit the avocado, and slice it thinly.
Once the burgers and bacon are cooked, assemble your burgers. Using large lettuce leaves as a base, place a patty on top of the leaf.
Spread 1 tablespoon of Whole30 compliant mayonnaise on each patty. Add two slices of bacon, slices of tomato, red onion, avocado, and pickle.
Top each burger with another lettuce leaf to complete, securing with a toothpick if needed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Cheeseburger.
