Ingredients:
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices Muenster or Swiss cheese
- 4 sweet Hawaiian roll buns
- 4 tablespoons truffle mayo
- 8 slices bacon, cooked
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions:
Caramelize the Onions:
Heat the Butter:
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
Cook the Onions:
- Add the thinly sliced onions and stir to coat them in the butter.
- Cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes, add the brown sugar and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Burgers:
Mix the Beef:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Slap Ya Mama seasoning, and black pepper.
- Mix gently until the ingredients are just combined.
Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each portion into a ball.
- Place a ball of beef between two pieces of parchment paper and press down with a heavy skillet or burger press to flatten into a thin patty.
Cook the Patties:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the patties to the skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until well-browned and crispy.
- Flip the patties and immediately place a slice of cheese on each patty.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the patties are cooked through.
Assemble the Burgers:
Prepare the Buns:
- Slice the sweet Hawaiian roll buns and toast them lightly on the griddle or in a toaster.
Spread the Truffle Mayo:
- Spread 1 tablespoon of truffle mayo on the top half of each bun.
Add the Patties:
- Place the cooked patties with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun.
Add Bacon and Onions:
- Top each patty with 2 slices of cooked bacon and a generous portion of caramelized onions.
Finish the Burger:
- Place the top half of the bun with the truffle mayo on the burger.
