Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Gluten-free buns
• 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 small Red onion
• 12 pieces Pickle slices
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and set aside. Wash the lettuce leaves if needed.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, and Dijon mustard to create the burger sauce.

Step 3

Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Add bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and pepper. Gently form into 4 equal patties, creating a small dimple in the center of each to promote even cooking.

Step 5

Brush patties with a little olive oil. Cook them in the same skillet or grill with bacon grease for added flavor, about 4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until they reach desired doneness.

Step 6

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt. Meanwhile, lightly toast the gluten-free buns on the grill or in a separate pan.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread the burger sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a cheesy beef patty, two slices of bacon, tomato slices, onion rings, and pickle slices.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger and serve immediately, accompanied by your choice of gluten-free sides.
