The quest
Instructions
- Start with the bacon and onion jam. Chop the bacon and fry until crisp. Lift it from the pan, leaving a little of the fat behind.
- Add the sliced onion and cook over medium-low heat until soft and golden. Stir in the brown sugar and balsamic vinegar, then return the bacon to the pan. Cook until sticky and glossy.
- Divide the beef into two large patties. Season well with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the patties in a hot pan, turning once. Add two slices of cheddar to each patty near the end and cover briefly so the cheese melts.
- Toast the buns. Spread the bottom halves with mayonnaise, then add lettuce, the cheeseburger patties, bacon and onion jam and BBQ sauce.
- Close the burgers and serve with enough napkins for a boss fight.
