INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

0 slice center-cut bacon

0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole whole wheat slider buns

0.25 cup iceberg lettuce

2 slice tomato

1 tsp yellow mustard

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0 tsp olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the bacon slice in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy, then remove and set aside on a paper towel. Once cooled, break the slice in half.

• 2

  While the bacon cooks, divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into small slider patties. Season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Wipe out any excess bacon grease from the skillet and add the olive oil, keeping the heat at medium-high.

• 4

  Place the beef patties in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and they reach your desired level of doneness.

• 5

  During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese on top of the patties and cover the pan for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt.

• 6

  Lightly toast the whole wheat slider buns in the same pan or a toaster until warm and slightly crisp.

• 7

  Assemble the sliders by spreading yellow mustard on the bottom buns, followed by the shredded lettuce and tomato slices.

• 8

  Place the cheesy beef patties on top of the vegetables, crown each with a half-slice of crispy bacon, and finish with the top bun.
