INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 slice center cut bacon

1 oz sharp cheddar cheese

2 large romaine lettuce leaves

2 slice tomato

1 slice red onion

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp yellow mustard

4 slice dill pickles

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the bacon in a cold non-stick skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the fat renders and the strips are perfectly crispy.

• 2

  While the bacon cooks, divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into thin patties, slightly wider than the desired finished size.

• 3

  Season both sides of the patties evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel; drain all but a small amount of the bacon fat from the skillet.

• 5

  Increase the heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for about 3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.

• 6

  During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese on top of the patties and cover the pan with a lid to melt it completely.

• 7

  Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves to act as the base and place one cheesy patty onto each leaf.

• 8

  Top the patties with the crispy bacon, tomato slices, red onion, dill pickles, and a drizzle of yellow mustard before serving.
