Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 count gluten-free hamburger buns
- 4 slices sliced cheddar cheese
- 8 slices bacon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat your grill or frying pan over medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, add the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Place the bacon slices in a separate pan over medium heat and cook until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Place the beef patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese over each patty and cover the grill or pan to melt the cheese.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the gluten-free buns on the grill or a separate pan until golden brown.
To assemble the burgers, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on each bun, then top with the cheese-topped burger patty.
Add two slices of bacon on top of each patty and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
