Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with black pepper and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 3
Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Step 4
Cook the low sodium bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then set aside on paper towels to drain the excess fat.
Step 5
Drizzle olive oil on the grill or grill pan to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

Two minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.
Step 7
While the cheese is melting, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Step 8
Slice the red onion and beefsteak tomato into thin slices.
Step 9
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
Step 10
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise, followed by a grilled patty with melted cheese.
Step 11
Add two slices of low sodium bacon on top of each patty.
Step 12
Place a slice of tomato and a few rings of red onion on top of the bacon.
Step 13
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium bacon and cheese burger!
