A unique burger that you won’t find at your local burger
joint. With rich depth of flavor, yet still deceptively simple and easy to put
together. There is nothing like it.

| Bacon Wrapped Burger |
Ingredients:
For the burgers:
·
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
·
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
·
Pinch each salt and pepper
·
4 slices center cut bacon
For the balsamic
glaze:
·
1/2 cup good quality balsamic vinegar
Preparation:
1.
Begin with the balsamic glaze by pouring
balsamic vinegar into a small sauce pan over high heat. Bring to a boil and
reduce to medium-medium high to simmer. Stir occasionally until sauce has
reached desired thickness. 20-30 minutes
should be all you need. Once desired consistency is reached, remove from heat
immediately.
2.
In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef,
gorgonzola cheese, and salt and pepper until ingredients are just incorporated.
Form into 4 equal-sized patties. Press your thumb down into the center of each
patty to create a small indent. Wrap each burger with a slice of bacon.
3.
Grill over medium heat beginning with the edge
of the bacon side facing down until burgers have reached desired doneness,
about 5 minutes each side. Transfer to buns and add lettuce and tomato. Drizzle
with balsamic glaze.
Happy Cooking ☺
