Burger Components

Toppings

Roasted Garlic Aioli

Method

Preparing the Roasted Garlic Aioli

  1. 1

    Roast the Garlic

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft.

  2. 2

    Make the Aioli

    Once the garlic is roasted and cool, squeeze the cloves into a bowl. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Caramelizing the Onions and Preparing the Jalapeños

  1. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    Slice the onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.

  2. 4

    Roast the Jalapeños

    While the onions are caramelizing, roast the jalapeños. You can do this on a grill or under a broiler until the skins are charred. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes to steam, then peel and slice.

Cooking the Burgers

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet used for onions, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, leaving some bacon fat in the pan.

  2. 6

    Form and Cook the Burgers

    Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet with the bacon fat, cook the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Add a slice of pepper jack cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

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

  2. 8

    Build the Burger

    Spread a generous amount of roasted garlic aioli on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Layer with a burger patty, followed by two slices of bacon, caramelized onions, and roasted jalapeños. Top with the other half of the bun.
