Equipment
- Grill or skillet
- Large Bowl
- Mixing spoon
- Measuring spoons
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Frying pan
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20) 453g
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese 112g
- 8 slices bacon 224g
- ½ tsp salt 2.5g
- ½ tsp black pepper 1g
- 1 tsp garlic powder 3.1g
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 15ml
- ½ cup chopped onions 80g
- 4 large lettuce leaves for wrapping
- 1 medium tomato, sliced 150g
- 1 dill pickle, sliced 70g
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
- Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for a medium cook, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.
- While the burgers are cooking, in a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.
- Once the burgers are cooked, place a slice of cheese on each patty and let melt for about 1 minute.
- Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a lettuce leaf, add a slice of tomato, a couple of slices of pickle, and two slices of bacon.
- Wrap the lettuce around the contents and serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust the seasoning to your preference or add other keto-friendly toppings like avocado or a fried egg.
If the burgers are sticking to the grill or skillet, lightly oil the surface before cooking.
Ensure the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 160°F (71°C) for food safety.
