Bacon Jam Burgers
BACON JAM SIRLOIN BEEF BURGERS WITH BRIE ON BRIOCHE BUNS
I’m not going to lie, it’s been a minute since I’ve had a beef burger. But I did stop by Heinen’s last week and saw these ridiculously thick preformed sirloin steak burgers that I had to grill.
There’s not much to this recipe, so let’s get down to business!
The Stonewall Kitchen bacon jam is out of this world good. And the best part is, I didn’t have to do much prep.
The triple creme brie is amazing, and melts perfectly in the oven!
BACON JAM SIRLOIN BEEF BURGER RECIPE
Ingredients
4 brioche buns
8 strips of bacon
1/2 red onion, chopped
4 sirloin steak patties, pre-formed, or you can make them
seasoning to taste: black pepper, salt, cayenne, oregano, thyme, red pepper, garlic powder
romaine lettuce, rinsed and chopped
tomatoes, sliced
ground mustard (optional)
melted brie (place in oven, unwrapped and then wrapped in foil, at 400°F for 20 minutes
1 jar of bacon jam (1-2 tablespoons per burger when building)
Instructions
Start with your brie. Get it preheating to 400°F.
Fry your bacon with the onions until golden crispy, and place all on a paper towel laced plate.
In the same cast iron, start grilling your patties. You will need to press down every so often if you used thick patties, and I usually cook 2 at a time because it takes longer to cook with more. I would say after 15 minutes of flipping, poke a few holes in the patties with a knife so that it can cook more. This always takes longer than you think to cook.
After you poked holes, flip the patties and then put the brie in the oven, wrapped in foil for 20 minutes.
If you want the burgers medium, you’ll probably be cooking the burgers on medium-low for 15-20 more minutes. You don’t want to burn the outside, but you do want to cook the inside a bit more.
Once the patties are done, put the brioche insides of the bun in the skillet to absorb those juices for a few minutes.
To construct, I usually do the lettuce first, then tomato. Then place your burger, brie, then bacon jam.
Add some onions and chopped bacon to the top and then top it with your bun and maybe an extra slice of bacon for garnish.
No one said this was healthy. :)
