INGREDIENTS

5 oz ground beef (93% lean)

1 slice center-cut bacon

0 slice sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole yellow onion

0 tsp avocado oil

1 whole whole wheat sandwich thin bun

2 leaves butter lettuce

2 slices 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. Heat avocado oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat, add the onions and a pinch of salt, and cook for 15-20 minutes until deeply caramelized and sweet.

• 2

  While onions cook, place the center-cut bacon in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and fry until the bacon is crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

• 3

  Divide the ground beef into two 2.5-ounce portions. Form them into very thin, wide patties and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Wipe out the bacon skillet and return to medium-high heat. Sear the beef patties for about 3 minutes on the first side. Flip the patties, place the cheddar cheese slice on one, and stack the second patty directly on top to melt the cheese while the bottom patty finishes cooking (about 2 minutes).

• 5

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

• 6

  Assemble the burger by layering the butter lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun. Place the double patties with melted cheese on top, followed by the four slices of crispy bacon and the caramelized onions. Close with the top bun and serve immediately.
