Ingredients:
1 pound organic ground sirloin
4 slices bacon, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces and cooked
1 large sweet onion, 1/2 chopped and 1/2 sliced into rings
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped finely
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
4 Tbsp raspberry jam/preserves, divided
Dash or two of hot sauce (We like chipotle)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Dash of pepper
4 ounces gouda (or fontina) cheese
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp of steak sauce
What to do:
Mix beef, bacon, chopped onion, chopped red and green peppers, garlic, Worchestershire
sauce, 2 Tbsp raspberry preserves, and hot sauce together in a large mixing bowl.
Salt and pepper to taste. Divide meat mixture up into 6 balls. Take one ball
of meat mixture, rip off about 1/3 of it and set aside. Form a square patty with
the remaining 2/3 of the meat mixture, patting to about ½ inch thick.
Place about 1 Tbsp cheese in the center of the patty. Top with the remaining
1/3 of the meat mixture, closing the seams of the meat, so that the cheese does
not escape. Repeat the same process for all of the beef patties. Grill over medium
heat to desired doneness. While burgers are cooking, take a stainless steel sauce
pan and heat 1 Tbsp oil in pan on the grill. Add sliced onions and sauté until
carmelized. Add steak sauce and remaining 2 Tbsp raspberry preserves to onions
and sauté together. Top burgers with sautéed onion mixture. Ooh,
talk about delish!
