• Chives

  2 tsp chopped or 2g

• Garlic

  table

  ½ tsp or 3g

• Black pepper

  ½ tsp or 1g

• Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Warm a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Finely chop the bacon and cook until crisp, 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and reserve the bacon fat in the skillet.
2. In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef, cooked bacon, chives, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper until just combined.
3. Shape into a patty and press a slight dimple in the center to prevent bulging.
4. Return the skillet to medium to medium‑high heat with the reserved bacon fat. Sear the patty 4–5 minutes per side until your desired doneness (about 160°F for well‑done).
5. In the last minute, top with the shredded cheddar and cover to melt. Transfer to a plate and rest 3 minutes before serving.
