Directions
- Heat a gas grill to high, or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over.
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, ranch, and blue cheese crumbles. Mix with a spoon until just combined and set aside.
Divide the ground beef into two portions and form patties. Press your thumb into the middle of each to form depressions. Season both sides of the burgers well with salt and pepper.
Brush the grill grate with a bit of avocado oil or spray with avocado oil spray.
Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes.
Flip the burgers over and cook on the other side for 3 minutes for medium rare. For medium, cook the burger on the second side for 4 minutes. For medium-well to well, cook the burger on the second side for 5 minutes.
Add the cheese slices and allow to cook for another 1 minute.
Remove burgers from the grill. Place each patty on top of a few lettuce leaves. Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top, then add the tomato and bacon slices. Spoon on blue cheese sauce, then add a couple more lettuce leaves.
Wrap the bottom half of each burger with parchment paper to ensure it stays together when you bite into it. Enjoy!

Sure, you could make a regular ol' cheeseburger... or you could dial the flavor up to 10 with our red, white, and blue (cheese) bacon burger. Sorry drive-thru burgers, this beauty is in a league of it's own.
Topped with two types of cheese, Primal Kitchen Ketchup and Mayo, and fresh tomato, this lettuce-wrapped masterpiece is basically a meal-in-one. And did we mention bacon? Bacon is the cherry on top. Bring a napkin, because it's about to get messy—in the best possible way!
