INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 slices sugar-free bacon

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 medium sweet potato

1 medium jalapeño

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Slice the sweet potato into 0.5-inch thick rounds, toss with the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, then roast for 20 minutes until golden and tender.

• 3

  In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the garlic powder and the remaining salt and pepper, mixing gently to avoid overworking the meat.

• 4

  Remove the seeds from the jalapeño and slice it into thin rings, then divide the beef into two equal portions.

• 5

  Flatten each beef portion, place half of the cheese and several jalapeño rings in the center, and fold the meat around the filling to form a slider patty.

• 6

  Wrap one slice of bacon tightly around each patty and secure the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

• 7

  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the sliders for 3 minutes per side until the bacon is crispy and browned.

• 8

  Transfer the skillet to the oven for 5 minutes to ensure the beef is cooked through and the cheese is fully melted.

• 9

  Place each slider on top of two roasted sweet potato rounds and serve immediately.
