Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Nueske's bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties.

  3. 3

    Grill the Burgers

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

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

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

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

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of house BBQ sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cheeseburger patty on top, add crispy shallots, and finish with the top half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
