Description

This Apple Cider Bacon Cheddar Burger combines the savory flavors of grilled beef, crispy bacon, and melted cheddar cheese with a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze. Perfect for a fall cookout!


Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef

– 4 slices of bacon

– 4 slices of cheddar cheese

– 4 hamburger buns

– 1/4 cup apple cider

– 1 tablespoon brown sugar

– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Lettuce, tomato, and onion for toppings


Instructions

1.

2. 1. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

3. 2. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a boil and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

4. 3. Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then form into 4 patties.

5. 4. Grill the patties over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side, adding a slice of cheddar cheese during the last minute of cooking.

6. 5. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes.

7. 6. Assemble the burgers: place the beef patty on the bun, top with bacon, drizzle with the apple cider glaze, and add lettuce, tomato, and onion as desired.


Notes

 

– For a spicier kick, add some jalapeños.

– You can use turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
