Bacon Cheeseburger Salad - Easy Low Carb

This evening I made a quick and delicious meal using a package of organic ground beef I picked up at Costco this past weekend. I formed it into 3 thick burgers after mixing it with a squeeze of "no HFCS" ketchup and yellow mustard, a generous sprinkle of McCormick's Chipotle Roasted Garlic Seasoning, and a sliced green spring onion. I heated a bit of coconut oil in my 10-inch Lodge cast iron pan and placed the patties into the skillet and cooked them until medium-well. I topped them with strips of sliced sharp white cheddar cheese and crispy bacon and placed the burgers on a bed of fresh baby romaine lettuce and scattered a few slices of carrot and diced tomato on top. It was so delicious. We really enjoyed it and I have one burger leftover for tomorrow's lunch! I snapped a few photos below and included the easy peasy recipe. Enjoy!

Bacon Cheeseburger Salad

Ingredients:

1-1/3 pounds ground beef (I used 85% organic ground beef)
1 rounded tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon McCormick's Grill Mates Chipotle & Roasted Garlic Seasoning (or substitute salt and pepper to taste)
1 green spring onion, sliced (or finely diced regular onions to taste)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
6 strips crisp cooked bacon
3 slices sharp cheddar cheese
6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 medium tomato, diced
1 small carrot, thinly sliced

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef, ketchup, mustard, chipotle seasoning, and onions. Form mixture into 3 equal sized patties, about 1-inch thick. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10-inch skillet. Cook patties to desired doneness, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Top with cheese and bacon. Place patties on top of lettuce in large shallow bowls. Scatter tomatoes and carrots on top.
