Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
8 slices bacon
1 large avocado, sliced
4 slices cheddar cheese (or pepper jack for a kick)
4 burger buns, toasted
Lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Red onion slices (optional)
Mayo, chipotle mayo, or your favorite burger sauce
Instructions
-
Make the patties: In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Divide into 4 equal patties, slightly wider than your buns. Press a small indent in the center of each to prevent puffing.
-
Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
-
Grill the burgers: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Add cheese slices during the last minute and cover the grill to melt.
-
Toast the buns: While burgers are cooking, toast buns on the grill or in a skillet until golden.
-
Assemble: Spread mayo or sauce on the bottom bun. Layer with lettuce, tomato, burger patty, bacon, avocado slices, and red onion. Add top bun and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicy version, use pepper jack cheese and add sliced jalapeños.
Mash the avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt for an easy spread.
Great with a side of sweet potato fries or grilled corn on the cob.
