Caramelized Onion, Bacon Burger of Joy



Today I decided that I wanted to make a burger with a little extra kick compared to your average "on the grill" burger. And I came up with this! It was freaking amazing and I will totally be making it again! ☺


First off.. you gotta caramelize some onions! Just throw a little butter in a pan and get them nice and golden and sweet.





Cook up some bacon! I used two slices per burger.. but you can always use more. I also bought the super affordable bacon.. but you are more than welcome (obviously) to use a thicker cut or whatever kind you want.


Steak cut fries make a super awesome yummy side to this. I seasoned mine up with a little seasoning salt. But yet again.. you can season with whatever you like.


These were also really yummy as a side. They were a little spicy and super delicious.


I used some smoked paprika (you MUST use smoked.. it is freaking amazing), and some garlic salt to season the meat.


Mix the seasonings with your ground beef and form some patties! I put a slice of cheddar on top of each of these.. it was super yummy.


Top your burger patty with the bacon and caramelized onions. We also put a little ketchup and mustard on ours. They turned out really really good.

I don't really have any super specific instructions or any measurements for the ingredients.. but I will do the best I can.. its pretty straight forward.

Ingredients:

  • ground beef
  • smoked paprika 
  • seasoned garlic salt
  • onions
  • butter
  • bacon
  • hamburger buns
  • cheese
  • ketchup and mustard if so desired
Instructions:
  1. Caramelize the onions in a little butter until they are golden brown. You will know they are close to being done when your kitchen smells like heaven. I found that cooking them on medium heat to medium-low heat worked best. Once the onions are done, set them in a bowl off to the side. 
  2. Cook bacon and set it off to the side. Also with the bacon I found that cooking it at about medium to medium-low heat worked best for the cut I got.
  3. Mix the seasonings up with your ground beef and form patties. 
  4. Cook the patties and top with whatever cheese you want.
  5. Layer it up and eat it!
Enjoy! Thanks for reading!
