Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. In a bowl, season 1 lb ground beef with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then form into 4 equal-sized patties.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 slices of bacon in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp unsalted butter and cook the beef patties for 4 minutes on the first side. Flip each patty and place 1 slice of sharp cheddar cheese on top. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until cheese melts and patties reach desired doneness.
  4. Step 4: Assemble each burger by placing a cheese-topped patty on 2 iceberg lettuce leaves, topping with 2 bacon slices, then wrapping the leaves around the filling like a taco. Serve immediately with your favorite keto condiments.
