🔥 Instructions

STEP 1: MAKE THE BACON JAM

  1. Cook chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. Remove excess fat, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pan.

  3. (Optional) Add chopped onion and cook until soft and golden.

  4. Stir in vinegar, garlic powder, broth, and return bacon to the pan.

  5. Simmer on low for 5–10 minutes until thick and jam-like. Set aside.

STEP 2: FORM AND GRILL THE BURGERS

  1. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.

  2. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness.

  4. In the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.

STEP 3: ASSEMBLE

  1. Layer each burger patty with a spoonful of warm bacon jam.

  2. Serve with or without buns, optionally topped with a fried egg.

💡 Tips:

  • Want it crispier? Pan-sear in bacon fat.

  • Strict carnivore? Skip the onion and vinegar.

  • Want extra flavor? Add smoked gouda or a dollop of whipped cream cheese!
