INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice sugar-free bacon

3 medium jalapeños

1 oz goat cheese

0 tsp extra virgin olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 cup fresh arugula

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon.

• 2

  In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until just incorporated.

• 3

  Form the beef mixture into six small, oblong patties that match the size of your jalapeño halves.

• 4

  Spread a portion of the goat cheese into each jalapeño cavity and press a beef patty firmly on top.

• 5

  Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap one piece around each stuffed jalapeño, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

• 6

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

• 7

  Place the sliders in the pan, bacon-side down, and sear until the bacon is golden and the beef is cooked through, flipping once.

• 8

  Arrange the sliders on a bed of fresh arugula and serve immediately for a crisp, peppery finish.
