Best 5 Bacon Bit Burgers With Smoked Gouda And Steak House Smothered Onions And Baby Spinach Salad Recipes

BACON BIT BURGERS

Steps:

• In large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel lined plate.
• Discard all but about 1 T. of the bacon drippings.
• Chop 1/4 of an onion finely, then slice the other 1 3/4 onions.
• Sweat the chopped onion in the reserved bacon drippings for 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and combine with the bacon.
• Coat pan with the olive oil and drop in the sliced onions. Let sweat until soft and slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove and place in bowl; keep warm.
• While the onions are sweating, combine the sirloin, Worcestershire, hot sauce, grill seasoning, and the bacon/onion mixture. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
• Cook burgers, covered, in skillet, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare and 6 minutes per side for medium-well.
• Place a slice of cheese on each burger and cover over low heat to melt the cheese.
• Stir steak sauce into the cooked sliced onions.
• Toast the buns if desired.
• Serve burgers with the smothered onions on a toasted bun.
• *NOTE* I served these without the buns and enjoyed them that way also. Just topped the burgers with the smothered onions and left the bun out of the equation.

GOUDA GARLIC BACON BURGER STACK

Steps:

• Split buns and brush butter on both halves; lay flat on a hot griddle (about 350 degrees F). Heat until buns are just light golden brown and have a nice crispy edge, 4 to 6 minutes. (A well-buttered and griddled bun gives you great flavor and a crispy crunch, and also acts as a seal to keep the burger juices and other sauces from making the bun soggy.)
• Preheat a broiler. Form beef into four 8-ounce 3/4-inch-thick patties. Sprinkle beef patties with Burger Shake (1/2 ounce each) and place in broiler to cook, about 4 minutes. Flip the patties over and sprinkle with more Burger Shake (another 1/2 ounce each, or to taste).
• Place the roasted garlic cloves on top of the patties along with the bacon strips and top with 2 slices of Gouda per patty. Cook until Gouda is fully melted and enrobes the garlic and bacon and patties are pink inside, another 4 minutes.
• Smear both halves of buns with Caesar Dressing.
• Place finished patties on bottom buns and top with onions and tomatoes.
• Add three pickle chips to each patty and drizzle barbecue sauce over the entire burger.
• Throw on your top buns and be sure to use burger picks to keep everything in place.
• Prepare for a delicious but drippy delight.
• Combine salt, pepper, garlic and oregano in a bowl and mix for a great all-purpose seasoning. We use it for eggs, meat, vegetables and more.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the tops off of the garlic bulbs and spread olive oil over the cut portion of the bulbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil. Roast until tender and squeeze-outable, about 50 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil and Worcestershire in a large bowl and whisk until ingredients are thoroughly integrated. Then whisk in Pecorino-Romano, oregano, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper.

BACON BIT BURGERS WITH SMOKED GOUDA AND STEAK HOUSE SMOTHERED ONIONS AND BABY SPINACH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and place a medium nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Add the bacon and a drizzle of EVOO to the hot skillet and cook until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off all but 1 tablespoon or so of the fat from the skillet. Return the pan to medium low heat and add the finely chopped onions to sweat out in the remaining fat, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Preheat a second medium nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO 2 times around the pan, over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add all the thinly sliced onions and top them with a plate that can fit inside the skillet. Top the plate with a heavy can and smother the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lift the plate with tongs; it'll be hot!
• Place the beef in a bowl and top with the Worcestershire, hot sauce, and grill seasoning.
• Remove the chopped onions to the plate with the bacon to cool. Turn off the heat and reserve the pan. Once the onions are cool, add them and the bacon to the ground sirloin and combine well. Score the meat into 4 even sections and form 4 large patties. Add 1 tablespoon of EVOO to the skillet and reheat it over medium high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare, minutes on each side for medium well.
• Toast the split rolls under the hot broiler until golden. Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and top with the smoked Gouda. Remove the bun tops from the broiler pan. Return the burgers to the broiler just to melt the cheese, about 30 seconds.
• Stir 1/4 cup of the steak sauce into the smothered onions. Top the burgers with the onions and set the bun tops in place.
• Place the remaining tablespoon of steak sauce in a small salad bowl. Add about 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar and whisk in about 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Toss with the spinach, season with salt and pepper, and serve alongside the burgers.

BACON INFUSED BURGERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook the bacon until slightly chewy, but not crisp.
• Once the bacon has cooled, tear it into small pieces, about the size of a dime.
• Mix the bacon bits into the raw ground beef, sometimes it's best to do this with your hands.
• Form the meat mixture into 6 equal size patties.
• Place on grill, griddle, or pan flipping until desired doneness. (I like mine a little pink in the middle).
• Grill your pineapple, and glaze with honey, as cooking, if desired.
