Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 slices bacon (cooked and crispy)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
  • 1 cup shortcake crumbs
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the beef patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape into four equal patties.
  • Cook the patties: Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  • Prepare the toppings: Cook bacon until crispy. Slice the strawberries and mix with sugar. Combine shortcake crumbs with vanilla extract and whipped cream.
  • Assemble the burgers: Spread whipped cream on the bottom half of each bun. Place a beef patty on each bun, then top with bacon, strawberries, and shortcake crumbs. Cover with the top bun.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately while the flavors are fresh and vibrant.

Notes

  • Shortcake: Store-bought shortcake works well for convenience. Simply crumble it and mix with whipped cream.
  • Fruit Alternatives: Feel free to use other fruits like raspberries or blueberries if desired.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the beef patty with a veggie burger or portobello mushrooms for a vegetarian alternative.
  • Advance Prep: Components can be prepared in advance, but assemble and serve the burger fresh for the best results.
