INGREDIENTS

5 oz Ground beef (93% lean)

1 slices Center-cut bacon

1 slice Sharp cheddar cheese

1 whole Whole wheat sandwich thin

1 leaf Butter lettuce

1 slice Tomato

1 slice Red onion

1 tbsp Yellow mustard

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the center-cut bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the fat has rendered and the strips are perfectly crisp.

• 2

  Divide the lean ground beef into two equal portions and form them into thin patties, pressing a small indentation in the center of each to prevent bulging.

• 3

  Season both sides of the beef patties evenly with sea salt and black pepper.

• 4

  Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.

• 5

  During the last minute of cooking, place the cheddar cheese on one patty and the cooked bacon on the other, then stack the cheese-topped patty onto the bacon-topped one.

• 6

  Toast the whole wheat sandwich thin until golden and spread the yellow mustard on the bottom half.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by layering the butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the double-stacked patties onto the toasted bun.
