INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

1 slice center-cut bacon

0.5 slice sharp cheddar cheese

0.5 whole sprouted whole grain 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

0.25 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION

• 1

  Place the bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium, cooking until the strips are crispy and golden.

• 2

  Remove the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and drain all but one teaspoon of the rendered fat from the pan.

• 3

  Shape the ground beef into two thin, even patties and season both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

• 4

  Increase the skillet heat to medium-high and sear the patties for three minutes per side until a savory crust forms.

• 5

  Place the cheddar cheese on one patty during the final minute of cooking, covering the pan briefly to melt it thoroughly.

• 6

  Lightly toast the sprouted bun in the same skillet until the edges are slightly browned.

• 7

  Assemble the burger by layering the patties, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mustard on the toasted bun.
