INGREDIENTS

7 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 medium jalapeño

0.25 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

2 large butter lettuce leaves

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.

• 2

  In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.

• 3

  Divide the beef into two equal portions and flatten them into small discs.

• 4

  Finely dice the jalapeño and place it in the center of each beef disc along with the sharp cheddar cheese.

• 5

  Fold the edges of the beef around the filling and pinch to seal, forming two thick slider patties.

• 6

  Wrap one slice of center-cut bacon tightly around each slider, ensuring the ends are tucked underneath.

• 7

  Place the sliders in the hot skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until the bacon is golden and the beef reaches your desired doneness.

• 8

  Remove the sliders from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes on a paper towel-lined plate.

• 9

  Serve each slider wrapped inside a fresh butter lettuce leaf for a crisp, clean finish.
