INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

2 slice center-cut bacon

1 large jalapeño

0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp avocado oil

4 large butter lettuce leaves

PREPARATION

• 1

  Finely dice the jalapeño, removing the seeds and white membranes for a milder heat level.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced jalapeño, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well incorporated.

• 3

  Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and place a small cube of sharp cheddar in the center of each, shaping the meat into a small slider patty around the cheese.

• 4

  Cut each bacon slice in half and wrap one half-slice around each beef slider, securing the ends with a toothpick if needed.

• 5

  Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 6

  Place the sliders in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until the bacon is crispy and the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.

• 7

  Remove the toothpicks and serve each warm slider tucked into a crisp butter lettuce leaf for a fresh, low-carb crunch.
