All American Burger Recipe

Cook the Onions

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Slice the onion thinly and add it to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare the Bacon

In a separate skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain.

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Form and Cook Patties

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Season each side with salt and pepper. In the skillet used for bacon, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on each patty to melt.

Build the Burger

Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread Brig burger sauce on the bottom bun, add shredded lettuce, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, and a slice of tomato. Top with the other half of the bun.
