INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

2 slices center-cut bacon

1 slice sharp cheddar cheese

2 leaves butter lettuce leaves

2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt

1 tsp yellow mustard

1 tsp sugar-free pickle relish

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

2 slices tomato

2 slices red onion

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, yellow mustard, and sugar-free pickle relish to create the secret sauce.

• 2

  Place the center-cut bacon slices in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy.

• 3

  Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about a teaspoon of the rendered fat in the pan for flavor.

• 4

  In a medium bowl, gently mix the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until just combined.

• 5

  Form the beef into two equal, thin patties approximately 4 inches in diameter.

• 6

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and sear the patties for 3 minutes on the first side until a deep, golden crust forms.

• 7

  Flip the patties; immediately place the sharp cheddar cheese slice on one patty and stack the second patty directly on top of the cheese.

• 8

  Cover the pan with a lid for 1 minute to allow the cheese to melt completely and the beef to reach your desired level of doneness.

• 9

  Lay out the large butter lettuce leaves on a plate and place the double patty stack in the center.

• 10

  Top the patties with the crispy bacon, tomato slices, and red onion slices.

• 11

  Finish with a generous dollop of the secret sauce before wrapping the lettuce leaves tightly around the burger to serve.
