INGREDIENTS

7 oz ground beef (93% lean)

2 slices center-cut bacon

0.25 tsp jalapeño

0.25 tsp sharp cheddar cheese

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely mince the jalapeño, removing the seeds and ribs if you prefer a milder heat level.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, minced jalapeño, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well incorporated.

• 3

  Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into small slider-sized patties.

• 4

  Press a small piece of the sharp cheddar cheese into the center of each patty, folding the meat over to completely seal the cheese inside.

• 5

  Wrap one slice of center-cut bacon around the circumference of each patty, securing the ends with a toothpick if needed.

• 6

  Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and place the sliders in the pan.

• 7

  Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, ensuring the bacon becomes golden and crispy while the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 8

  Remove the sliders from the pan and let them rest for 2 minutes before placing each one into a fresh butter lettuce leaf to serve.
