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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

½ pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon bourbon (such as Four Roses®)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
½ teaspoon garlic salt
2 slices cooked bacon, cut into halves
2 slices Cheddar cheese
2 hamburger buns, split
2 tomato slices
2 leaves lettuce

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Mix ground beef, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, steak seasoning, and garlic salt in a bowl; divide and shape into 2 patties.
Cook on the preheated grill for about 5 minutes; turn, top each burger with bacon and Cheddar cheese, and continue cooking until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes more for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve on split buns topped with tomato and lettuce.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients

1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/3 cup sesame oil
2 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced onion
1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 pounds USDA choice Angus ground chuck
Salt
pepper and garlic salt
12 slices thick-cut smokehouse bacon, cooked until crispy
6 thick slices smoked cheddar cheese
6 fresh bakery buns, toasted and buttered

Steps:

Make the sauce: In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. In a large saute pan over low heat, combine the bourbon, 1 cup water, the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, onion, Tabasco, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Bring up the heat to a simmer and slowly add the dry mix to the wet, whisking vigorously as you go. When the mixture is well combined, cook about 1 more minute. Turn off the heat.
Preheat a grill or griddle over medium-high heat.
Make the burgers: Form the meat into 6 patties. Lightly season with salt, pepper and garlic salt. Grill the patties to medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Add 2 strips of bacon to each patty. Melt a thick slice of smoked cheese over each bacon burger.
Place the burgers between the buns, drizzling a generous amount of bourbon sauce on each burger.
