Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, roasted garlic, Peppadew peppers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape them into patties. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Grill the Patties

    In a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip them, add a slice of white cheddar on each patty, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Grill the Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until caramelized, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, layer the bibb lettuce, tomato slices, the two patties with melted cheese, bacon, grilled onions, pickles, and a generous amount of the roasted garlic-peppadew aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.
