Gourmet Burger Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 Lbs. Ground Beef
- 6 Slices Bacon Chopped
- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- 3 Onions Thinly Sliced
- 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar
- Salt & Pepper
- 4 oz. Sliced of Shredded Gruyere Cheese
- 4 oz. Crumbled Blue Cheese
- Watercress
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon; discard all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet; swirl to melt. Add the onions; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Uncover and add the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until the onions are glazed, about 1 more minute. Stir in the reserved bacon and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Form your patties, just lightly salting and peppering the meat. Grill to your desired heat.. I am a medium rare guy and my wife is a rare girl. Toast your buns while meat is grilling. Top with the Gruyere for the last minute or so to allow to melt.
- Serve on toasted bun with the Onion Bacon compote and top with crumbled Blue cheese and watercress.
