Cheeseburger Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon-Onion Jam

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, and cook until caramelized. Crumble the bacon and mix it back in. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Spicy Mayo

   In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined. Adjust spice level to taste.

3. 3

   Cook the Beef Patties

   Form the ground beef into 4 equal patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Cheese

   In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of smoked cheddar on each patty and cover until melted.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread spicy mayo on the bottom bun, add butter lettuce, the beef patty with melted cheese, and top with bacon-onion jam. Finish with the top bun.
