Instructions
Bacon Jam
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Once the bacon is cooked, transfer to a paper towel on a plate and set aside. You will have to do this in a few batches.
- In the same pan, remove all but about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat. Saute the shallots and garlic until just softened, about 3 minutes. Crumble in the bacon and stir everything together.
- Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, apple cider, pepper, and bourbon. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
- Place in a sealable container and put in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the burger. The jam will be good in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Sauce
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Place in a sealable container and put in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the burger. The sauce will be good in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Sauteed Mushroom and Onions - Enough for 2 burgers
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow to heat up. Add the mushrooms and onion. Saute until the vegetables crisp to your liking.
Burger Patties (per burger)
- Season each of the hamburger patties with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add 2 teaspoons of canola oil.
- Place the patty in the pan and allow it to cook. Feel free to flip and press as much as you want. Cook the patties to 145℉.
- Remove 1 of the patties and set aside on a plate with a paper towel. Place the prosciutto on one of the patties. Top both patties with a slice of cheddar cheese on and cover with a lid. Cook until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Transfer to the plate with the other patties.
Burger Assembly
- Combine the melted butter, pepper, and garlic powder. Slice the bun in half and place on a baking sheet. Brush the inside of each of the buns with the seasoned butter. Place under the broiler and toast until the bun has crisped up.
- To assemble the burger, place the bottom bun on a plate. Generously spread the sauce on the bun. Add a few slices of pickles and top with lettuce.
- Place the patty with the cheddar cheese. Next, add the sauteed mushrooms and onions.
- Add the burger patty with the prosciutto and cheese. Top with the last patty. Scoop a portion of bacon jam on top of the patty.
- Add additional lettuce. Smear a generous helping of the sauce on the top bun and place on top.
