Prepare the Beef Patty

  1. 1

    Season and Shape

    In a bowl, combine the grass-fed beef with salt and black pepper. Form into two equal patties.

Make the White Cheddar Sauce

  1. 3

    Melt and Combine

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the white cheddar cheese until smooth. Stir in garlic powder and salt.

Cook the Bacon

    Crisp the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Burger
