INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground beef (93% lean)

2 slices center-cut bacon

1 oz sharp cheddar cheese

1 large jalapeño

2 leaves butter lettuce

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp avocado oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Slice the jalapeño into thick rounds, removing the seeds if you prefer a milder heat level.

• 2

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

• 3

  Divide the beef into two equal portions and form them into small slider-sized patties, tucking a half-ounce of cheddar into the center of each.

• 4

  Place two jalapeño rounds on top of each beef patty and wrap a slice of bacon tightly around the circumference to secure the toppings.

• 5

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

• 6

  Carefully place the sliders in the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until the bacon is golden and crispy and the beef is cooked through.

• 7

  Serve each slider inside a fresh butter lettuce leaf for a clean, handheld crunch that satisfies every craving.
