Ingredients
1 large head iceberg lettuce
4 slices bacon
1 red onion, sliced
1 lb. ground beef
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 slices cheddar
1 tomato, sliced
Ranch dressing, for serving
Preparation
Step 1Slice 8 large rounds from the edges of the head of iceberg to create buns. Step 2In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving bacon fat in pan. Step 3Add onion slices and cook until tender, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside red onions and wipe skillet clean. Step 4Return skillet over medium-high heat. Shape ground beef into 4 large burger patties. Season both sides of patties with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook until seared on both sides and cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Top each burger with a slice of cheese, then cover skillet with a lid and cook until cheese has melted, about 1 minute more. Step 5To build each burger, top one iceberg round with the cooked cheeseburger, a slice of bacon, and a tomato slice, then drizzle with ranch. Top with second iceberg round. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.
