Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
• 8 slices bacon strips
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato slices
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for the bacon.

Step 2

Place the bacon strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently by hand to combine.

Step 5

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the patties to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on the first side.

Step 8

Flip the patties and immediately top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 9

Meanwhile, toast the burger buns in a toaster or under a broiler until lightly golden.

Step 10

Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the top half of each bun.

Step 11

To assemble, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 12

Place the cheese-topped burger patty on the lettuce and top with two strips of crispy bacon.

Step 13

Complete the sandwich with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
