Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 red onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a 3/4-inch thick patty.
Step 3
Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet or on the grill. Cook until crisp, about 7-9 minutes, flipping occasionally. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 4
Cook the beef patties on the grill or in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each burger to melt. Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 5
While the patties are resting, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
Step 6
Assemble your burgers by layering each patty with crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, and a few rings of red onion between two large lettuce leaves.
Step 7
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Serve alongside each burger as a low-carb sauce alternative.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious and filling low-carb bacon cheddar burger!
