The Wanderer Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Candied Bacon

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the bacon strips on the sheet and sprinkle brown sugar over each slice. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramelized. Remove and let cool.

2. 2

   Cook the Andouille Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the andouille sausage until browned and heated through. Remove from heat and slice into rounds.

3. 3

   Form the Burger Patties

   In a bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 2 equal-sized patties.

4. 4

   Grill the Burgers

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of white cheddar cheese on each patty to melt.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill. On the bottom half of each bun, layer arugula, the burger patty with melted cheese, sliced andouille sausage, and candied bacon. Top with the other half of the bun.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the Wanderer Burger hot, with your choice of sides.
