“New Bacon-ings” Burger

The moment I built this burger I was singing the intro to the Krabby Patty in the Krusty Krab training video … DA DADUM DUM DUM DUM DAA. This right here is a classic burger – there’s no way you can fuck this up. I made a few changes when cooking this burger – like swapping cheddar for pepper jack and not making Bob’s fancy bacon fries because I was too tired. This burger is a good reminder that the classics are delicious for a reason.

Ingredients

• 1 LB Bacon
• 1 LB Ground Beef
• 1 Cup Whole Milk
• 1 Large Egg
• 4 Buns
• Green Leaf Lettuce
• 1 Large Tomato, sliced
• 1 Red Onion, sliced
• 4 Slices of Cheddar Cheese [or Pepperjack]
• Par-baked French Fries

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat your oven to 400F.

Chop up all but 8 slices of bacon and fry over MED heat until almost crisp. Drain the chopped bacon on paper towels, wipe out the skillet, and fry the remaining slices until crisp.

Par-bake your french fries, or par-fry them and set aside.

Combine milk + egg in a large bowl. Coat the par-baked french fries in the mixture and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss the coated fries with the chopped bacon and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the fries are extra crispy.

While the fries are cooking, make 4 patties and season both sides with salt and pepper and cook to your doneness. When they’re just about finished cooking, top with your cheese slices.

To build your burger: bottom bun, lettuce, cheeseburger, tomato, bacon slices, onion, top bun.

Serve with your bacony fries & enjoy… you’re going to need to unhinge your jaw for this one.

Made with Love,
