A delicious burger topped with homemade bacon jam and gouda cheese, perfect for any meat lover.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1/2 pound bacon, chopped into small chunks
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 4 slices of gouda or classic American cheese
  • 1/2 pound bacon, whole pieces

Instructions

  1. Slice up the bacon into small chunks (about 1 inch each) and set aside the whole pieces for later.
  2. Cook the bacon bits and chopped onions in a pan over medium heat until the bacon is crispy and the onions are tender.
  3. Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the grease from the pan, then stir in garlic and cook for a minute.
  4. Add in the brown sugar, vinegar, and salt, cooking the mix until it thickens to a jam consistency. Cool it off in a jar and set it aside.
  5. Lay the leftover bacon slices flat on a foil-covered baking sheet and place in a cold oven set to 400°F. Let the bacon crispen up as the oven heats.
  6. After cooking, move the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  7. Shape the beef into 4 burger patties, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook to your preferred doneness.
  8. Place a cheese slice over each patty right before they are done to melt.
  9. Assemble the burger by placing a patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, adding a scoop of sweet bacon jam, a couple of crispy bacon pieces, and finishing with the top bun. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure the bacon is as crispy as possible for the best texture.
  • You can adjust the sweetness of the bacon jam by adding more or less brown sugar.
  • This recipe can be doubled for a larger gathering.
