INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0 slices center-cut bacon

0 slice sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 cup yellow onion

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 whole sprouted grain bun

1 leaf romaine lettuce

1 slice tomato

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Heat a skillet over medium-low heat with the olive oil, then add the thinly sliced yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes.

• 2

  In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy and the fat has rendered, then set aside on a paper towel to drain.

• 3

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

• 4

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side; place half a slice of cheddar on each patty during the final minute of cooking to melt.

• 5

  Lightly toast the sprouted grain bun in the pan juices or a toaster until the edges are fragrant and slightly crisp.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by placing the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the two cheesy patties, the crispy bacon, and a generous topping of caramelized onions.
