Lettuce

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined, then form into 4 equal patties. Use your thumb to create a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Burgers

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and add a slice of cheddar cheese on top. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.

Bacon Onion Jam Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 4

    Sauté Onions

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and then the chopped large onion. Cook until the onion is soft and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Ingredients for Jam

    Add the cooked bacon, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar to the onions. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture is thick and caramelized.

Fries Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into fries or wedges, depending on your preference.

  2. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels and season with salt to taste.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns lightly on the grill. On the bottom half of each bun, place a piece of lettuce, followed by a burger patty with melted cheddar, and a generous spoonful of bacon onion jam. Top with the other half of the bun.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Serve the assembled burgers with a side of freshly fried potatoes. Enjoy!
