INGREDIENTS

5 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice uncured center-cut bacon

0.5 slice sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole sprouted grain bun

1 leaf romaine lettuce

2 slices tomato

2 slices red onion

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp yellow mustard

PREPARATION

• 1

  Cook the uncured bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to drain.

• 2

  Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and form them into thin, even patties.

• 3

  Season both sides of the beef patties with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they reach your desired level of doneness.

• 5

  Place half a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the final minute of cooking and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese.

• 6

  Toast the sprouted grain bun in the skillet or a toaster until the edges are golden brown.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by spreading the yellow mustard on the bottom bun, then adding the lettuce, tomato, and red onion.

• 8

  Stack both cheesy beef patties on top of the vegetables, add the crispy bacon slices, and finish with the top bun.
