Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 4 equal patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    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 level of doneness.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheese

    During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of gouda cheese on each patty and cover to melt the cheese.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of bacon jam on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patty with melted gouda on top, followed by crispy fried onions and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
