Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons jarred or cooked jalapenos finely diced
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
For the burgers:
- 4 burger buns
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 mix is best
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 large sweet onion sliced
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- 4 lices pepper jack cheese
- 4 lices cheddar cheese
- 12 lices Cooked crispy bacon
- 4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat a large heavy bottom, skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- While your skillet is heating, prepare your burger patties by combining the ground beef with salt and pepper and shaping 4 equal round patties and placing them aside.
- Once the skillet is heated, add the onions to the skillet with the butter and saute for about 5 minutes or until they start to caramelize and become brown. Remove the onions from skillet and set aside.
- Place the patties in the skillet and cook for approximately 6-9 minutes depending on your desired doneness. For some extra yummy flavor cook them in the grease from your bacon!
- Use a spatula to flip each burger patty and top with a slice of each cheese allowing it to cook for another 6-9 minutes while the burger finishes cooking and the cheese melts.
- While the cheese melts, prepare the sauce by mixing together the maple syrup, ketchup, jalapenos, BBQ sauce and hot sauce in a small bowl.
- Once your burgers are cooked, assemble them by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom bun, top with a burger, then caramelized onions, bacon, and drizzle with a generous amount of sweet and spicy sauce before adding the top bun.
- Serve warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Try making your burgers on the grill instead. It adds char and a smoky flavor that pairs well with the sweet and spicy sauce.
- Prepare your components up to 24 hours in advance to make life easy when it’s time to cook. I love doing this if I’m throwing a party.
- Make these burgers using ground beef, pork, veal, or turkey. You can even use a combination to add complex flavor and texture.
