Recipe information

Make Whisky Bacon Burger in just 30m. Burger with whisky-infused bacon.

Preparing the Bacon

1. Cook the Bacon

In a skillet over medium heat, add the bacon slices and cook until they start to become crispy.

2. Add Whisky and Brown Sugar

Pour the whisky over the cooked bacon and sprinkle with brown sugar and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the bacon is caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Burger Patties

3. Prepare the Patties

In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

4. Cook the Patties

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach the desired doneness.

Assembling the Burger

5. Toast the Buns

While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

6. Add Cheese

Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

7. Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of each bun, layer the lettuce, followed by the patty with melted cheese, whisky-infused bacon, tomato slice, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
