Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Candied Bacon

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the bacon slices on the sheet and sprinkle brown sugar over each slice. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and caramelized. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burgers

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and add a slice of American cheese on top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the burgers are cooked to your preferred doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard on the bottom half of the bun. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, and candied bacon. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Ampersea Burgers with your choice of sides, enjoy!
