INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

2 slices center-cut bacon

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 cup yellow onion

1 tsp ghee

2 large Bibb lettuce leaves

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp yellow mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.

• 2

  Heat ghee in a small skillet over medium-low heat; add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes.

• 3

  In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

• 4

  Divide the ground beef into two 3-oz portions and gently form into thin, even patties.

• 5

  Season both sides of the beef patties with sea salt and black pepper.

• 6

  Wipe out the bacon skillet and increase heat to medium-high; sear the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through.

• 7

  Place the cheddar cheese on one of the patties during the final minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to melt.

• 8

  Stack the two patties on top of each other, then top with the crispy bacon and caramelized onions.

• 9

  Place the burger stack inside the Bibb lettuce leaves and finish with a drizzle of yellow mustard.
