Preparation

Bacon Jam Preparation

1. Cook the Bacon

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving the fat.

2. Sauté Onions

In the same skillet, add chopped onions to the reserved bacon fat and sauté until soft and translucent.

3. Combine Ingredients

Chop the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet with onions. Stir in brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and maple syrup.

4. Simmer the Jam

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and jam-like. Set aside to cool.

5. Cook the Burger Patties

Form ground beef into 4 equal patties, season with salt and pepper, and grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.

6. Melt the Cheese

In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on each patty to melt.

7. Prepare the Buns

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

8. Assemble the Burger

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by bacon jam, lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

9. Serve with Fries

Prepare shoestring fries according to package instructions and serve alongside the burgers.
