2 slice dill pickles

1 tbsp yellow mustard

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel.

• 3

  Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and form them into thin, even patties.

• 4

  Season both sides of each patty with sea salt and black pepper.

• 5

  Wipe out most of the bacon grease from the skillet, add the olive oil, and return to medium-high heat.

• 6

  Sear the beef patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.

• 7

  Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to melt.

• 8

  Lay out the butter lettuce leaves as your base and stack the cheeseburger patties on top.

• 9

  Layer on the crispy bacon, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles.
