The Lure Burger

Submitted by under12parsecs

"Found on delish.com--this burger with Caramelized Onion and Bacon Jam sounds phenomenal and I plan on making them this weekend. Posting here for safekeeping. Times are estimated and cook time assumes bacon and caramelized onions are being cooked simultaneously. Edited 30 May 2011: These are wonderful! Made them for a Memorial Day weekend BBQ and everyone scarfed them down like there was no tomorrow! I added 1 T Worcestershire sauce to the burgers before mixing and was generous with the salt and pepper. The Caramelized Onion and Bacon Jam would be fantastic on ANY burger or sandwich!"

These burgers were great! I added some worcestershire as well as a T. of fish sauce to the meat. I also layered some gorgonzola between two thin patties before grilling to make stuffed bleu cheese burgers. The onion bacon jam was awesome! Thanks UTP for a great recipe!
