Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once cooked, place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease.

  2. 2

    Make the Burger Patties

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add the Goat Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place 2 ounces of smoked goat cheese on each patty to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly. On each bun, place a burger patty topped with melted goat cheese, add the crispy bacon slices, and drizzle with pepper jelly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the smoked goat burgers with your favorite sides and enjoy!
