Steps
Follow these simple steps to create your mouthwatering bacon jam grilled cheeseburgers:
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon Jam
– In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
– Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally.
– Once the onions are caramelized, add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, brewed coffee, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and mustard powder to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
– Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and simmer the mixture over low heat for about 30 minutes, or until thickened to a jam-like consistency.
– Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Burger Patties
– In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the seasonings.
– Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
– Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
– Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
– During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese and allow it to melt.
Step 3: Assemble the Bacon Jam Grilled Cheeseburgers
– Toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
– Spread a generous amount of the prepared bacon jam onto the bottom half of each bun.
– Place a cooked cheeseburger patty on top of the bacon jam.
– Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and any other condiments.
