INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0 slices center-cut bacon

0 slice sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole whole wheat thin bun

0.5 medium yellow onion

0 tsp avocado oil

1 leaf butter lettuce

1 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the yellow onion into very thin half-moons.

• 2

  Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat; add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply golden and velvety, about 15 to 20 minutes.

• 3

  In a separate skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to drain.

• 4

  Divide the ground beef into two 3-ounce portions and form them into thin, wide patties; season both sides evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 5

  Wipe out the bacon skillet and increase the heat to medium-high; sear the beef patties for approximately 3 minutes on the first side to develop a crust.

• 6

  Flip the patties, place the cheddar cheese slice on one of them, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked through.

• 7

  Lightly toast the whole wheat thin bun in the skillet or a toaster until golden.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the butter lettuce and tomato slice on the bottom bun, stacking the two beef patties on top, adding the crispy bacon and caramelized onions, and finishing with the top bun.
