Instructions
1
Prep
Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then shape into one patty wider than the bun with a shallow dimple.
2
Sear
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high and cook the patty 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark crust forms and juices run clear.
3
Crisp
Lay the turkey bacon in the same skillet over medium heat and cook 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until edges brown and stiffen.
4
Melt
Return the patty to low heat, top with Emmental, and cook 1 minute until the cheese slumps, while mashing the drained beans.
5
Plate
Toast the whole wheat bun, spread Dijon on the base, layer lettuce, tomato, beans, patty, and bacon, then cap and serve.
