Ingredients

• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices non-dairy cheese slices (coconut-based)
• 1 large avocados
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 8 large lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once cooked, remove bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the grass-fed ground beef, coconut aminos, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness is reached.

Step 5

Place a slice of non-dairy cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of grilling to allow it to melt slightly.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion.

Step 7

To assemble the burgers, place a large lettuce leaf on a plate, followed by a grilled patty with melted cheese. Top with a slice of bacon, avocado slices, tomato slices, and red onion rings. Cover with another large lettuce leaf to complete the burger.

Step 8

Serve immediately, enjoying the burger while it's hot and fresh.
