1
Prepare the Bourbon Bacon Jam
In a skillet over medium heat, cook 6 slices of chopped bacon until crispy. Remove excess fat, then add 1/2 cup of bourbon, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
2
Form and Cook the Patties
Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until desired doneness.
3
Assemble the Burger
Toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom bun, layer shredded lettuce, a cooked beef patty, 1 oz of pimento blue cheese, a generous spoonful of bourbon bacon jam, and top with sliced tomatoes, pickles, onions, and a drizzle of special sauce. Cover with the top bun.

Serve
Serve the Big Blue Burger immediately with your favorite side, like fries or a salad.
