Instructions

Prepare the Onion Jam

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent.

Pro tip: Add a pinch of salt to help release the moisture from the onions.

Caramelize the Onions

Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pro tip: Don't rush the process; caramelization takes time to develop flavors.

Prepare the Patties

Form patties with the ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Pro tip: Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.

Cook the Bacon

In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Reserve on paper towels.

Pro tip: For even crispier bacon, feel free to press it lightly while cooking.

Cook the Patties

On the barbecue, cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Add the cheddar cheese at the end to melt.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, 160°F for a well-cooked burger.

Assemble the Burger

On the burger bun, spread mayonnaise, add the beef patty, two slices of bacon, onion jam, and a lettuce leaf.

Pro tip: Don't overload the burger to avoid it falling apart while eating.

Serve

Close the burger with the other half of the bun and serve with fries or a salad.

Pro tip: A little ketchup and mustard on the side won't hurt!
