Ingredients
Scale
- 4 brioche burger buns
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 4 shortcake biscuits
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the Patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt and pepper. Shape into four equal patties. Cook in the same skillet over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
- Marinate the Strawberries: In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Let the mixture marinate for 5-10 minutes.
- Assemble the Burger: Start by placing a shortcake biscuit on the bottom half of each bun. Add a beef patty, followed by two slices of bacon. Spoon the strawberry mixture over the bacon and add a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with fresh basil, if desired.
- Serve: Place the top half of the bun over the whipped cream and strawberries. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute the ground beef with ground chicken or turkey.
- If you don’t have shortcake biscuits, substitute with regular biscuits or Hawaiian rolls.
- The strawberry topping can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
