Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 slices bacon
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato
• 1 small red onion
• 1 avocado
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in the skillet until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 4

Split the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork and set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.

Step 6

Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Using the same skillet with the bacon fat, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, place a large lettuce leaf on each plate. Top each with a beef patty, followed by bacon slices, tomato slices, red onion rounds, and a generous dollop of mashed avocado.

Step 9

Cover each burger with another lettuce leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Bacon Burger!
