Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 4 slices low-sodium bacon
• 4 slices low-sodium cheese slices
• 2 buns whole wheat hamburger buns
• 2 leaves lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 small onion
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium ketchup
• 2 teaspoons mustard

Directions

Step 1

Start by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack on top.

Step 2

Place the low-sodium bacon slices on the wire rack and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently flatten them into patties.

Step 4

Season both sides of the patties with black pepper and garlic powder.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Place one cheese slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Step 7

While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and onion into rings.

Step 8

Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly, then cut each slice in half.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers: begin with the bottom bun, add a lettuce leaf, followed by a slice of tomato, a cooked beef patty, a slice of cheese, another beef patty, another slice of cheese, two half-slices of bacon, some onion rings, and top with the bun.

Step 10

Spread low-sodium ketchup and mustard on the inside of the top bun before placing it on the burger.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium bacon double cheeseburger!
