INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

0.5 slice thin-sliced sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 medium yellow onion

0.5 tsp avocado oil

0.5 whole sprouted grain burger bun

1 large bibb lettuce leaf

1 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.

• 2

  Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 12 minutes.

• 3

  While onions caramelize, crisp the bacon in a separate pan over medium heat until golden, then set aside on a paper towel.

• 4

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

• 5

  Increase skillet heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for 3 minutes per side until cooked through.

• 6

  Place the cheese slice on one patty during the final minute of cooking, then stack the second patty directly on top to help the cheese melt.

• 7

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the pan or a toaster.

• 8

  Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the double patties, bacon slices, and caramelized onions.
