INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice center-cut bacon

1 whole part-skim mozzarella cheese stick

1 whole sprouted grain bun

1 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt

1 tsp yellow mustard

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 leaf romaine lettuce

1 slice tomato

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then form into a consistent patty.

• 2

  Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil and cook the bacon until crisp; remove and drain on a paper towel.

• 3

  Place the beef patty in the hot skillet, searing for 4 minutes on the first side.

• 4

  Flip the patty, then slice the mozzarella stick in half lengthwise and place both halves cut-side down directly on the skillet for 30 seconds to crisp.

• 5

  Place the crisped mozzarella halves onto the patty and cover the skillet for 2 minutes to finish cooking the beef and melting the cheese.

• 6

  In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mustard, and smoked paprika for a creamy, smoky spread.

• 7

  Toast the sprouted grain bun until golden, then assemble with the sauce, lettuce, tomato, cheeseburger, and bacon.
