Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 oz gorgonzola cheese
- 2 hamburger buns
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for toasting the buns)
- 2 leaves lettuce
- 1 small, sliced tomato
- 2 slices red onion
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, honey, and BBQ sauce to create the chipotle honey BBQ sauce. Set aside.
Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide it into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 3/4-inch thick.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it on a paper towel to drain.
In the same skillet or on the grill, cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium, or adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chipotle honey BBQ sauce onto each patty, and place about 1 ounce of gorgonzola cheese on top. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil to allow the cheese to melt slightly.
If desired, lightly butter the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Place a leaf of lettuce on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a burger patty, two slices of crispy bacon, a slice of tomato, and a slice of red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as fries or coleslaw.
