I love burgers! But honestly who doesn't?! I probably cook burgers once a week or once every other week. But lately I have been doing the same burgers over and over... so it was getting a little boring. I love just a simple seasoned burger on the grill topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Every now and then you have to break up the routine and make some new toppings choices and change the patty.
Add Bacon to the patty!
I season my patties with just some salt, pepper, and worcestershire sauce. Then I add some beautiful thick cut bacon right into the patty. Cut the bacon into half inch long strips.
Then form your patty and put four chunks of bacon mixed right in. So Beautiful!
Then let your formed burgers chill in the fridge with a dollop of BBQ sauce right on top of each patty. Grill your burgers for about 10 min (flip at 5 min), and while you are grilling you can prep your toppings. I caramelize LOTS of onions and put my left over bacon in a 350 degree oven for 30 min.
Once the burgers are cooked I turn the grill off put cheese on each burger and let them sit on the grill till the cheese is melted and this gave me some extra time to finish on my toppings. Also use this time to make an amazing side. I recommend parmesan potato wedges.
Assemble toppings
I add a generous amount of more BBQ sauce then top it with the extra bacon and to finish it off a generous amount of caramelized onions. I also substitute lettuce for my bun as a healthier option, but clearly I am not super concerned with healthy when you consider the amount of bacon used for this dish. Needless to say it is delicious! |

Much thanks to my brother Jonathan for this collaboration. I'm glad that we both live in a world where "too much bacon" does not exist!
