Elevate your burger experience with this Bourbon-Bacon Jam Burger, featuring a juicy patty topped with a rich, sweet-and-savory jam and melted smoked gouda.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices smoked gouda cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for toppings

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and chop it into smaller pieces.
  2. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and cook them until they become translucent and fragrant.
  3. Create the Bourbon-Bacon Jam: Add the bourbon, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet, stirring until everything is well combined. Let it simmer, allowing the mixture to thicken before stirring in the chopped bacon.
  4. Form the Patties: While the jam simmers, form the ground beef into four equally sized patties. Season each with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Grill the Patties: Grill the patties to your desired doneness, allowing the flavors to develop beautifully.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Once the patties are off the grill, top each one with a slice of smoked gouda cheese. Allow the cheese to melt completely over the hot patty.
  7. Assemble the Burgers: Now for the fun part! Assemble your burgers by placing each cheesy patty onto a burger bun. Generously top with bourbon-bacon jam and your choice of fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Plate it up, take a moment to admire your creation, and then dig in. Enjoy every juicy bite of your Bourbon-Bacon Jam Burger!

Notes
