Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (lean, 85% lean)
- 4 slices Low-sodium bacon
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (low-sodium, sliced)
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 0.5 medium Onion (sliced rings)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with garlic powder and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each portion into a patty.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet or on a grill heated to medium heat, cook the low-sodium bacon slices until crisp. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 3
Using the same skillet or grill, add the avocado oil and cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. Place a slice of low-sodium cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
Step 4
While the patties are cooking, toast the whole wheat buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Step 5
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a cooked patty, followed by a slice of cooked bacon, a slice of tomato, and a few onion rings.
Step 6
Finish with the top half of the bun. Serve the burgers immediately while warm.
