National Hamburger Day is here and we’re celebrating with something that makes everything better, BACON! This recipe features a homemade jalapeño bacon jam and bacon-infused smashburgers, topped with cheese and classic burger fixings.
1. Make Jalapeño Bacon Jam: Cut 1 lb Tenderbelly Signature Blend Uncured Bacon into strips. Cook until crispy and set aside. Cook 1/2 diced Sweet Onion in the bacon grease until softened. Add 1/2 jar Pickled Jalapeño’s with the juice, 3/4 cup Brown Sugar, 1/2 cup Maple Syrup and the cooked bacon. Simmer on low, stirring often until thickened.
2. For the burger patties: Finely chop 10oz Tenderbelly Signature Blend Uncured Bacon, add to 2 lbs Ground Beef and 1/4 cup of your favorite seasoning. Mix to combine and form into 4 oz balls.
3. To a pre-heated pan, add the burger balls and smash with a burger press.
4. Flip once crispy and cook until cooked through. You want to make sure the bacon is cooked so let these burgers go to a higher temperature than you normally do.
5. Add Cheese and melt.
6. Time to build: Toasted Burger Bun, Yellow Mustard, Lettuce, 2 Bacon Burger Patties, Jalapeño Bacon Jam.
7. Enjoy!
