INGREDIENTS

4.5 oz ground beef

1 slice turkey bacon

0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 small whole grain slider buns

2 leaves butter lettuce

2 slices tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the turkey bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until the bacon is golden and crispy, then remove and set aside on a paper towel.

• 2

  Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and roll them into loose balls. Season the outside of the balls with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 3

  Wipe out the skillet and add the avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once the pan is shimmering, place the beef balls in the pan and use a heavy spatula to smash them down into very thin patties.

• 4

  Cook the patties for 2 minutes without moving them to develop a deep brown crust. Flip the patties and immediately top two of them with the sharp cheddar cheese.

• 5

  Place the other two patties on top of the cheesy ones to create two double-stacks. Remove from the heat once the cheese is melted.

• 6

  Briefly toast the slider buns in the same pan. Assemble by layering the bottom bun with butter lettuce, a tomato slice, the double beef stack, a piece of crispy bacon, and the top bun.
