Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 eggs (fried over easy)
- 1 jalapeno (sliced and seeds removed)
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 large burger buns (sliced)
- 4 slices thick cut bacon (fried)
- Blackberry Jam
Instruction
- Shape the ground beef into 2 patties. Once shaped, press the center with your thumb firmly to create a divot about the size of a quarter. This helps to keep the burger from mounding in the center. Grill for approximately 4 minutes per side on medium high heat for rare, 5 minutes per side for medium rare. (Or what works on your grill...there are so many variables!)
- Fry the eggs in a skillet with a bit of butter. I prefer over easy but cook them whatever way is to your liking.
- Remove the eggs from the skillet, add a bit more butter and fry the jalapeno pepper rounds just briefly, no more than one minute per side until just wilted and starting to turn brown.
- The last minute of cooking the burgers on the grill, place two slices of cheese on each burger, close the lid and allow the cheese to begin melting. Remove burgers to a plate; put the sliced buns on the grill for about a minute, just to lightly toast the buns.
- Put the burger with cheese on the bun bottom and top with the bacon and fried egg and then scatter some jalapeno peppers and a couple of dollops of blackberry jam. Top with the burger top and serve.
