Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
- Red onion slices (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Form the Patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide the meat into four equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Cook the Patties: In the same skillet, cook the patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Make the Strawberry Spread: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture on the top halves of the buns.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place a beef patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with crispy bacon, sliced strawberries, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Add lettuce and red onion if desired.
- Serve: Top the burgers with the prepared buns and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a leaner option, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
- If you prefer, you can substitute the strawberries with peaches or apples.
- For a more indulgent experience, try using brie or goat cheese instead of cheddar.
- To make the balsamic glaze at home, reduce balsamic vinegar on the stovetop until it thickens.
- Use gluten-free buns to make this recipe gluten-free.
