Here's a recipe to create this delicious burger:
Ingredients:
For the Whiskey Bacon Jam:
- 4 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup whiskey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
For the Burger:
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 burger buns
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- Jalapeño jelly (store-bought or homemade)
- Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and red onion slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Whiskey Bacon Jam:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it becomes crispy.
- Remove most of the bacon fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the skillet.
- Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the whiskey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Let the mixture simmer and thicken for about 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches a jam-like consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Once the bacon jam is done, remove it from heat and set it aside.
2. Prepare the Burger Patties:
a. While the bacon jam is simmering, divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Grill the Burger Patties:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-204°C).
- Grill the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your preferred level of doneness.
4. Assemble the Burger:
- Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are lightly browned.
- Spread a generous amount of smooth peanut butter on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a grilled burger patty on top of the peanut butter.
- Spoon a dollop of jalapeño jelly (adjust to your desired level of spiciness) on top of the burger patty.
- Add a spoonful of the whiskey bacon jam on top of the jelly.
- If desired, garnish with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and red onion slices.
- Place the top half of the bun over the garnishes to complete the burger.
