Ingredients

1 lb 96/4 extra lean ground beef
1 tbsp dehydrated minced onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
4 slices velveeta cheese
1 red onion cut into 4 rounds

Instructions

To a large bowl, combine the ground beef, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, paprika, kosher salt, and mix thoroughly.
Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
Cut the red onion into 1/4" rounds. Grill the patties according to your desired internal temperature, and melt the velveeta cheese on top once cooked thoroughly.
Grill the red onion at the same time as the burgers. Set aside.
Thinly shred the romaine lettuce and toss with the pickle juice. Divide the lettuce equally among the 4 servings to form 4 salads.
Top each salad with a cooked burger patty with cheese, a red onion round, 2 slices of cooked bacon, pickle slices, 3 ounces of sweet potato fries and 2 tbsp of the dressing.
