Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into half-pound patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Toppings Preparation

  1. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 5

    Cook the Knockwurst

    Slice the knockwurst into small pieces and cook in the skillet until heated through and slightly browned.

Curry Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Curry Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine ketchup, curry powder, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently until well mixed and heated.

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Cook the Patties

    Grill or pan-fry the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  2. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Place the cooked patty with melted cheese on the bottom bun, top with caramelized onions, crispy bacon, chopped knockwurst, and drizzle the curry sauce over everything. Add the top bun.

  3. 9

    Serve with Fries

    Serve the Currywurst Burger with a side of fries. Drizzle any remaining curry sauce on the fries if desired.
