Instructions
- Add the bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.

- For serving, spoon the ground beef onto the lettuce leaves and layer the cheddar cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and tomatoes on top.
About this recipe
This recipe was originally posted on "A sweet life". Reposted with permission.
Just for everyone's information.
So, I mixed chopped smoked bacon, finely chopped onion and two slices of keto bread, crumbled,with the ground beef and shaped into patties.
Cooked for 12 minutes each side and put cheese on 1 minute before serving.
Used up some Portobello mushrooms that I had left over from a previous recipe and served the burgers on top them with salad on the side.
Husband gave thumbs up!,
Since the lettuce is being used as a wrap for this recipe, the size/shape of the leaves is more important than the weight. You will use about 3 leaves per serving.
