Ingredients: 8 slices Jones Dairy Farm Cherrywood Smoked Extra Thick Bacon Slices; 1/2 lb. 80/20 ground beef, divided into 2 patties; 2 slices American cheese; 1 large yellow onion, diced; 1 tablespoon butter; salt and black pepper, to taste; 1 brioche burger bun; burger sauce, for serving

How to Make a Bacon Weave Burger

This bacon weave burger stacks two crusty patties, melted American cheese, and slow-cooked caramelized onions between two layers of Jones Dairy Farm Dry Aged Cherrywood Smoked Extra Thick Cut Bacon: a crispy oven-baked weave and pan-fried slices. Every bite has bacon in it, so serve it with a pile of fries and plenty of napkins.

Directions

Make the bacon weave: Lay 3 strips of Jones Cherrywood Smoked Extra Thick Cut Bacon vertically on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Weave 3 additional strips horizontally over and under the vertical strips to create a tight bacon weave. Bake at 400°F for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until browned and crispy.
Once cooked, use the burger bun as a guide and carefully cut the bacon weave into a circle approximately the same size as the bun. Set aside.
Cut the 2 remaining slices in half. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, turning once. Set aside on a paper towel.
Caramelize the onions: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden and caramelized.
Cook the burgers: Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and season with salt and pepper. Cook in a hot skillet, pressing into thin patties. Flip once a deep crust develops, then top each patty with American cheese and cook until melted.
Assemble: Toast the brioche bun and add burger sauce, the pan-fried bacon, both cheeseburger patties, caramelized onions, the crispy bacon weave, additional burger sauce, and the top bun.
Serve immediately with crispy fries.
