Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Red Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion and place it in a bowl. Combine vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture over the onions and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the smoked bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Make the Garlic Sauce

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burger

    Shape the ground beef into a patty and season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-fry the burger over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Daddy-O

    Place the cooked burger on a bun, top with sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, pickled red onions, and a generous drizzle of garlic sauce. Serve immediately.
