BACON BOURBON BURGERS



Bacon Bourbon Burgers image

In 2011 I attended the 'Chefs of the Coast' cook-off where 4 chefs battled it out cooking their own personal recipe using Four Roses Bourbon®. I thought that I could absolutely make a burger worthy of the Four Roses name and this is it. It's a savory burger that is seasoned to perfection and topped with bacon and other assorted toppings.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your bacon bourbon butter will be. Look for thick-cut bacon and a good quality bourbon.
  • Cook the bacon slowly and evenly: This will help to render out the fat and prevent the bacon from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of bacon, cook it in batches to prevent it from steaming instead of frying.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess grease.
  • Use a good quality butter: Unsalted butter is the best choice, as it will give you more control over the flavor of the butter.
  • Be patient: The butter will take some time to infuse with the bacon and bourbon flavors. Be patient and let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using.

Conclusion:

Bacon bourbon butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for spreading on toast, adding flavor to grilled meats, or using as a dipping sauce for vegetables.
