• 1

  Divide the ground beef into two 3-ounce portions and gently shape them into thin, even patties.

  Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel; wipe the excess grease from the skillet.

• 5

  Add the avocado oil to the skillet and sear the beef patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until fully cooked.

• 6

  Cut the cheddar cheese slice in half and place one half on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  Assemble the burger by spreading Dijon mustard on the bottom bun, followed by the lettuce, tomato, the two stacked patties, and the crispy bacon.
