Hey there, we’ve got something especially tasty for you today...
There’s nothing quite like a big, juicy grass-fed burger. Add bacon to the mix and your taste buds don’t stand a chance!
The standard American burger is junk food. But we’ve found a way to make one of our favorite meals good for us again.
Laid on top of fresh lettuce and topped with the classic onion-and-tomato combo, you can celebrate Memorial Day with this mouth-watering burger feast.
When other party goers show up with Oscar Meyer weiners and florescent green Jello salad, you’ll be the one pulling juicy bacon burgers off the grill!
No buns packed with preservatives and processed grains, or slathered with sugary GMO sauces. No fillers or artificial flavors in the meat.
These burgers are 100% real food, low-carb, and packed with protein and healthy fats.
We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
The Ultimate Bacon Cheeseburger
Yields: 4 Burgers | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 (12-ounce) package nitrate-free bacon
1 pound grass-fed ground beef (80/20)
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 yellow onion, peeled and sliced into rings
1 beefsteak or vine-ripened red tomato (organic)
4 leaves fresh broad-leafed lettuce
Sea salt and cracked black pepper
4 ounces grass-fed cheddar cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon grainy garlic mustard
Pickle spears, for serving
Directions:
Divide the bacon slices into two portions, saving 4 to 8 slices to go on top of the burgers. Mince or chop the remaining slices as fine as possible and place in a large bowl.
Add the ground beef and coconut aminos to bowl with minced bacon and use your hands to mix everything together.
Divide the burger mixture into four equal portions, flattening each portion into a patty with the palms of your hands. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat bacon slices over medium-low heat, slowly rendering the fat from the bacon as you cook it. Once done, set bacon aside and reserve bacon fat in the skillet.
Peel the onion and slice it into rings. Cook onion slices in the bacon fat over medium heat until caramelized. Remove to a plate, reserving any leftover bacon fat in the skillet.
Cut the tomato into thick slices, and set aside for serving.
Rinse the lettuce and pat dry. Set aside for serving.
Heat the skillet with bacon fat over medium heat (or heat the grill).
Season the burger patties with salt and pepper and place in the bacon greased skillet (or add to the grill). Cook until the underside is browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes more, until the internal temperature reaches at least 135°F. If using cheese, add cheese during the last minute.
Remove burgers to a plate, cover with foil, and allow to rest for a few minutes.
For each burger, lay a lettuce leaf on a plate and top with a burger, tomato, raw or caramelized onion, bacon, and garlic mustard. Serve with a pickle spear on the side.
