Preparation:

Step 1
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat a little olive oil and add the turkey bacon. Cook until crispy, about 3 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
Step 2
• Meanwhile, combine the ground beef, green onions, cilantro, chipotle pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper, lime zest and juice. Divide into 4 portions and form each portion into 2 patties. Place the first 4 patties in the skillet; cook for 3–4 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Step 3
• While the first batch of patties is frying, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, tomatoes, and mustard. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
Step 4
• Place the second batch of patties in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Top with a slice of cheese and 2 slices of bacon. Cover the pan with foil and cook over low heat until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
Step 5
• Place the patties on the bottom halves of the buns. Top with the bacon and cheese patties, tomato sauce, and top with the top halves of the buns.
