Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 slices Bacon
- 8 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 small, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 small, sliced Red onion
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 slices Pickles
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each burger to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon slices until crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 4
Place the beef patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the desired doneness is reached.
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover to let the cheese melt.
Step 6
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps by washing and drying the large lettuce leaves.
Step 7
Mix the mayonnaise with Dijon mustard in a small bowl to create a sauce.
Step 8
Assemble each burger by placing two lettuce leaves on a plate as the bun. Place a cheese-topped burger patty on the lettuce, add a slice of bacon, and then layer tomato, onion, pickles, and drizzle with mayonnaise-mustard sauce.
Step 9
Wrap the lettuce around the burger ingredients and serve immediately.
