Bacon Jam Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon Jam

    In a skillet, cook bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan. Add diced onion to the drippings and sauté until translucent. Stir in brown sugar and cook until caramelized. Add apple cider vinegar and chopped bacon, stirring to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until thickened. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Dill Feta Schmear

    In a bowl, mix dill feta cheese with cream cheese until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef Burger

    Season ground beef with salt and pepper. Form into two patties and cook on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast brioche buns lightly. Spread dill feta schmear on the bottom bun, add the cooked beef patty, top with apple bacon jam, arugula, and pickled peppers. Finish with the top bun.
