INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slices turkey bacon

0.5 slice sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole whole wheat thin bun

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slices tomato

1 slice red onion

1 tbsp yellow mustard

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

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

• 2

  Place the turkey bacon in a cold non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side, then set aside on a paper towel.

• 3

  In the same skillet, increase heat to medium-high and sear the beef patties for 3 minutes on the first side to develop a golden crust.

• 4

  Flip the patties, immediately place the cheddar cheese slice on one patty, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the beef is cooked through.

• 5

  Lightly toast the whole wheat thin bun in the skillet or a toaster until warm and slightly crisp.

• 6

  Assemble the burger by placing the plain patty on the bottom bun, followed by the cheesy patty, crispy turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

• 7

  Spread yellow mustard on the top bun and close the burger before serving immediately.
