INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 slices center-cut bacon

0.5 cup yellow onion

0.25 oz sharp cheddar cheese

2 large butter lettuce leaves

2 slices tomato

0 tbsp avocado oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dijon mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about half a tablespoon of fat in the pan; add the sliced onions and cook on medium-low until soft and golden brown.

• 3

  While onions cook, form the ground beef into a thick patty and season both sides evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high, add the avocado oil if needed, and sear the beef patty for 4-5 minutes per side until a deep crust forms.

• 5

  Place the cheddar cheese on the patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to allow it to melt completely.

• 6

  Layer the butter lettuce leaves to create a sturdy base, then top with the tomato slices, the cheeseburger patty, crispy bacon, and caramelized onions.

• 7

  Finish with a dollop of Dijon mustard before wrapping the lettuce tightly around the burger and serving immediately.
