HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this is not the healthiest meal, it still has some positive aspects; for example, the burger patties themselves are relatively free carb and high in protein, which keeps you full for longer.
The pancetta, a type of Italian unsmoked bacon, is a good source of protein, and may even help with weight management.
The Swiss cheese used in the recipe is rich in Vitamin K2 and calcium, and may even lower the risk of heart disease.
