INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef 93% lean

2 slice Center cut bacon

1 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

2 leaf Romaine lettuce

0.25 cup Red onion

2 slice Tomato

1 tbsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the bacon slices in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy.

• 2

  Remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel to drain, keeping about a teaspoon of the bacon fat in the pan for flavor.

• 3

  In a small bowl, season the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then gently form into two equal, thin patties.

• 4

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

• 5

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

• 6

  Wash and pat dry the large romaine lettuce leaves to use as your sturdy burger base.

• 7

  Thinly slice the red onion and tomato to prepare your fresh toppings.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by stacking the two cheesy patties onto the lettuce leaves, followed by the crispy bacon, tomato, and onion.

• 9

  Drizzle with yellow mustard and fold the lettuce leaves over the top to serve as a clean, handheld wrap.
