Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bacon Bourbon Jam

    In the same pan with the bacon drippings, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in brown sugar, bourbon, and balsamic vinegar. Cook until thickened, then set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burger Patty

    Form the Angus beef into a patty and season with salt and pepper. Cook on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sherry Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion and sherry. Cook until onions are soft and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burger

    On a toasted bun, place the cooked patty, top with smokey blue cheese, caramelized sherry onions, crispy bacon, and a generous spoonful of bacon bourbon jam.
