Method

Bourbon Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bourbon Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Thicken the Sauce

    Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Bacon

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Burger Patties

  1. 4

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bourbon, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 equal patties.

  2. 5

    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 desired doneness.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

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

Burger Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, onion, and crispy bacon. Drizzle with bourbon sauce.

  2. 8

    Complete the Burger

    Top with the other half of the burger bun and serve immediately with extra bourbon sauce on the side.
