Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the North Country bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

    Divide the black Angus ground beef into two equal portions and form into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On the focaccia bun, layer lettuce, the cooked patty with melted cheese, crispy bacon, tomato slices, onion slices, and pickles.

Truffle Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the Fries

    Bake or fry the frozen French fries according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.

  2. 7

    Season the Fries

    Drizzle the hot fries with truffle oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine.

Truffle Ketchup Preparation
