Burger Ingredients

1 lb Ground beef

4 slices Cheddar cheese

4 slices Bacon

2 cups Mixed greens

1 whole Avocado

1/2 whole Cucumber

1 cup Roasted cauliflower

1/4 cup Red onion

1 cup Grape tomatoes

2 spears Spicy pickle spears

1/2 cup Peppercorn ranch dressing

2 whole Burger buns

Method

Preparation Instructions

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Prepare the Beef Patties

In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two equal patties.

Cook the Burger Patties

Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese in the last minute of cooking to melt.

Prepare the Vegetables

Slice the avocado, cucumber, and red onion. Halve the grape tomatoes.

Assemble the Burger

Spread peppercorn ranch dressing on the bottom half of each bun. Layer mixed greens, the cooked beef patty with melted cheddar, crispy bacon, avocado slices, cucumber, roasted cauliflower, red onion, and grape tomatoes. Top with a spicy pickle spear and the top half of the bun.

Serve

Serve immediately with extra peppercorn ranch on the side, if desired.
