Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Hamburger buns
• 8 slices Bacon (thick cut)
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 whole Fresh jalapenos
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato (sliced)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until the seasonings are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape into burger patties. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Cook the bacon in the skillet or on the grill pan until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 5

Grill or cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt the cheese.

Step 6

While the patties and bacon cook, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado and jalapenos. Remove seeds from the jalapenos if you prefer less heat.

Step 7

Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt to create a simple guacamole spread.

Step 9

To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Layer a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a cooked burger patty with melted cheese.

Step 10

Add two slices of crispy bacon per burger, followed by slices of fresh jalapeno and a generous spoonful of the avocado spread.

Step 11

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
