i can’t re-invent the wheel….
But I can re-invent the bacon cheese burger! I got this brain storm in the middle of the night { which is where most of my ker~razy recipes happen } on how to re-invent this classic dish! So this is my take on …re-inventing the wheels on the bus goes round and round…ha ha ha! I really should start sleeping more. Oh and guess who forgot to pick up a tomato today? I’ll give you a hint…Irisa did!

Ingredients
- - ¾ pound ground sirloin 80/20
- - 6 ounces of thick cut apple wood bacon { cut into small bite size pieces } or any bacon you prefer
- - 1 medium onion { sliced thin }
- - sharp cheddar cheese { grated } use as much or as little as you like
- - 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
- - 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- - salted butter { for the buns }
- - buns { toasted }
How To Make i can’t re-invent the wheel….
-
Step 1Cut the bacon into small bite size pieces and fry till very crisp, remove but do not discard the grease. -
Step 2Fry the onions in the grease till they are translucent and begin to caramelize. Remove from the grease. Do not discard the grease.
-
Step 3Mix the sirloin with the bacon, pepper, salt and make the patties. Try not to over mix the meat; it will make the patties tough.
-
Step 4Fry the patties in this wonderful flavored bacon/onion grease. There won’t be too much grease because the onions will have absorbed some. OMGoodness bacon flavored onions!!!
-
Step 5Butter and toast the buns { this is just another level of flavor ! } And it’s those little touches that can break or make a dish.
-
Step 6Drain on paper towels and while they are still hot top with the grated cheese, and pile the onions on the bottom of the bun. Serve with and pickles & chips.
