Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Wagyu Patties

    In the same skillet, cook the Wagyu beef patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheddar Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of garlic aioli on both sides of the buns. Place the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun, followed by the Wagyu patty with melted cheddar, crispy bacon, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the bacon Wagyu burger immediately with your choice of sides.
