Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Patties

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Form into 2 patties, pressing down lightly in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

  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

    Grill the Patties

    In the same skillet or on a grill, cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium, adding a slice of cheddar cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the beef patty with melted cheese on top, followed by 2 slices of bacon. Top with onion strings and cover with the top bun.

Onion Strings Preparation

  1. 6

    Slice the Onion

    Peel the onion and slice it thinly into rings.

  2. 7

    Soak in Buttermilk

    Place the onion rings in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 8

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 9

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each ring in the flour mixture until well coated.

  5. 10

    Fry the Onion Strings

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
