Bacon Bleu Burger Recipe

Prepare the Caramelized Onions

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Slice the onion and add to the pan, cooking until soft and golden, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally and season with a pinch of salt.

Cook the Bacon

In another pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

Form the Patties

While the bacon cooks, form the ground beef into four equal patties. Season each patty with salt and black pepper.

Cook the Burgers

In the same pan used for the bacon, cook the beef patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with bleu cheese crumbles to melt.

Assemble the Burger

Toast the kaiser rolls if desired. On the bottom half of each roll, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, then add a slice of tomato, a few slices of bacon, and a generous spoonful of caramelized onions. Top with the other half of the roll.

Serve

Serve the burgers warm with your favorite sides.
