Burger Americana Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hickory smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Fry the Onions

   In a separate bowl, toss the thinly sliced onions with flour and a pinch of salt. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the onions until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Cook the Burgers

   In the same skillet used for bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of white cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

5. 5

   Prepare the Aioli

   In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise to create the Dijon aioli.

6. 6

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread Dijon aioli on the bottom half of each bun, add the burger patty with melted cheese, top with crispy bacon, a spoonful of tomato marmalade, and crispy fried onions. Place the top bun over the fillings.
