INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice Center-cut bacon

1 whole Whole-wheat slider buns

1 slice Sharp cheddar cheese

2 leaves Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Yellow mustard

0 tsp Avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Divide the ground beef into four small, thin patties and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Place the bacon slice in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the fat renders and the bacon is perfectly crispy.

• 3

  Remove the bacon to a paper towel to drain, then wipe most of the grease from the pan and add the avocado oil.

• 4

  Increase the heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.

• 5

  Place a quarter-slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the final 30 seconds of cooking, covering the pan briefly to melt the cheese.

• 6

  Lightly toast the slider buns in the same skillet until the edges are golden and warm.

• 7

  Assemble the sliders by spreading mustard on the bottom buns, then layering lettuce, tomato, two cheese-topped patties, and half a bacon slice on each.
