Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 slices low-sodium bacon
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, low sodium
- 4 pieces whole wheat hamburger buns, no salt added
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 3
Divide the seasoned meat into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
Step 4
Slice the tomato and red onion into rings. Set these aside along with the lettuce leaves.
Step 5
On a separate surface, mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice to make a quick no-sodium added avocado spread.
Step 6
Grill the bacon slices on the preheated grill or in a pan until crispy. Remove from the heat and set on paper towels to drain any excess fat.
Step 7
Place the beef patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
Step 8
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of the low sodium Swiss cheese on each patty so it can melt.
Step 9
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
Step 10
Assemble the burgers by spreading the avocado mixture on the bottom half of each bun.
Step 11
Top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a beef patty. Layer with the crisply cooked bacon and add a few rings of red onion.
Step 12
Close the burger with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
