INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice center cut bacon

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

2 small sprouted grain slider buns

1 leaf butter lettuce

2 slices tomato

2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt

1 tsp yellow mustard

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  While the bacon cooks, divide the ground beef into two equal portions and roll them into loose balls.

• 3

  Season the beef balls generously with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and place the beef balls in the pan, smashing them flat with a spatula to create thin patties.

• 5

  Sear the patties for 2-3 minutes until a dark crust forms, then flip and top each with a portion of cheddar cheese.

• 6

  Cover the pan for 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt completely while the other side finishes cooking.

• 7

  In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and yellow mustard to create a tangy, protein-packed burger sauce.

• 8

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain buns in the same pan used for the beef to soak up the remaining flavor.

• 9

  Assemble the sliders by spreading the yogurt sauce on the bottom buns, followed by lettuce, tomato, the cheesy beef patties, and half a slice of crispy bacon each.
