Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 8 slices bacon strips
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 slices tomato slices
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the bacon.
Step 2
Place the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently by hand to combine.
Step 5
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Add the patties to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on the first side.
Step 8
Flip the patties and immediately top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 9
Meanwhile, toast the burger buns in a toaster or under a broiler until lightly golden.
Step 10
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top half of each bun.
Step 11
To assemble, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 12
Place the cheese-topped burger patty on the lettuce and top with two strips of crispy bacon.
Step 13
Complete the sandwich with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
