INGREDIENTS

5 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

0.75 oz sharp cheddar cheese

2 small whole wheat slider buns

2 leaves butter lettuce

2 slices tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp yellow mustard

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the bacon slice in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until crispy before draining on a paper towel and breaking it into four pieces.

• 2

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

• 3

  Wipe the skillet clean and add the avocado oil, heating over medium-high until shimmering.

• 4

  Sear the beef patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side until a deep golden-brown crust develops.

• 5

  Divide the cheddar cheese into four portions and place one on each patty during the final 30 seconds of cooking to melt.

• 6

  Briefly toast the slider buns face-down in the same skillet until the edges are warm and lightly browned.

• 7

  Assemble each slider by stacking two cheesy patties on each bun, then topping with the crispy bacon pieces, lettuce, tomato, and a smear of yellow mustard.
