Method

Bacon Truffle Mayo

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mayo

    In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, truffle oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

Bacon Jam

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the 8 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove and let drain on paper towels, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Onion

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 4

    Make the Jam

    Chop the cooked bacon and return to the skillet. Stir in brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until thickened. Let cool slightly.

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide into two equal portions and shape into patties.

  2. 6

    Cook the Patties

    Heat 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.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese

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

  4. 8

    Toast the Buns

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

  5. 9

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of the bacon truffle mayo. Place the cooked patty with melted cheddar on top, followed by a layer of bacon jam, additional crispy bacon slices, leafy greens, and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

Additional Bacon

  1. 10

    Prepare Additional Bacon

    Cook the additional 6 slices of bacon until crispy in a skillet, and set aside for topping the burgers.
