Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Bacon-Onion Marmalade

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Chop the bacon and stir it back in. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make Espresso BBQ Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauce with the espresso. Stir well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Burger Patties

    In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Form into two patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the Burgers

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, brushing with the espresso BBQ sauce during the last minute of cooking.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the ciabatta buns. Place the burger patties on the bottom bun, top with blue cheese crumbles, bacon-onion marmalade, fresh arugula, and sliced tomatoes. Cover with the top bun.
