INGREDIENTS

6 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice Center-cut bacon

1 small Whole wheat slider buns

0.25 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 leaf Romaine lettuce

2 slices Tomato

1 tsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the center-cut bacon in a cold non-stick skillet over medium heat, cooking until the fat renders and the strips are perfectly crispy.

• 2

  While the bacon cooks, divide the ground beef into two equal portions and form them into small, flat slider patties.

• 3

  Season both sides of the beef patties evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel, then drain most of the fat, leaving just a thin coating in the pan.

• 5

  Increase the heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms and they are cooked through.

• 6

  Top each patty with the sharp cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking, covering the pan briefly to ensure it melts completely.

• 7

  Slice the whole wheat buns and lightly toast them in the skillet or a toaster until the edges are golden and warm.

• 8

  Assemble the sliders by spreading mustard on the bottom buns, then layering the cheesy patties, crispy bacon, tomato, and lettuce.
