Ingredients

• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 4 slices paleo-friendly bacon
• 4 slices dairy-free cheese slices
• 8 leaves large lettuce leaves (like romaine or butterhead)
• 1 medium ripe tomato
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 medium avocado
• 2 whole dill pickles
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix until well-combined, but do not overwork the meat to prevent tough burgers.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties, making a small indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once melted, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, place the burger patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes on the first side or until a nice crust forms. Flip the patties, place a slice of dairy-free cheese on each, and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rings, peel and slice the avocado, and slice the dill pickles.

Step 6

To assemble each burger: Lay two lettuce leaves on a plate to form a 'bun.' Place a burger patty on the leaves, top with a slice of bacon, and arrange slices of tomato, onion, avocado, and pickles on top.

Step 7

Drizzle each assembled burger with Dijon mustard and cover with another two lettuce leaves.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Classic Bacon Cheeseburger!
