Bacon Cheeseburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Bacon Jam

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. In the same skillet, add chopped onions and cook until caramelized. Chop the bacon and add it back to the skillet. Stir in a splash of water and let it simmer until it forms a jam-like consistency. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Worcestershire Mayo

    In a bowl, mix mayonnaise with Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Form the Patties

    Divide the ground beef into four equal portions and gently form into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    In a hot skillet or grill, cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and place a slice of cheddar on each patty. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked to your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the everything buns lightly. Spread the Worcestershire mayo on the bottom half of the bun, place the cooked patty with melted cheese on top, add a generous spoonful of bacon jam, and top with the other half of the bun.
