Sriracha Bacon Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Candied Sriracha Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook 8 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove excess fat, then add Sriracha sauce and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize on the bacon.

   Prepare the Burger Patties

   In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 4 equal patties.

   Cook the Patties

   Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Muenster cheese on each patty to melt.
