Method

Burger Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a bowl, mix the Black Angus ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal patties, about 1/4 lb each.

  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 doneness.

Bourbon Bacon Jam

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 4

    Sauté Onions

    In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Make the Jam

    Add brown sugar, bourbon, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper to the skillet. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir everything together. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.

BBQ Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    While the patties are cooking, warm the hickory smoked BBQ sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato. Add the cooked burger patty on top.

  2. 8

    Add Toppings

    Top the patty with a slice of cheddar cheese, a generous scoop of bourbon bacon jam, and a drizzle of hickory smoked BBQ sauce.

  3. 9

    Finish the Burger

    Place the top half of the bun on the burger. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
