BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger on Brioche Bun

I made this ensemble for my burger loving boyfriend a while back. Ever since then he hasn't stopped talking about it. He loved it and I hope you do too! 

Ingredients (for 2 large burgers)
  • 1 large ribeye steak (either have your local supermarket grind it or you can grind it yourself at home) 
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese 
  • Black truffle butter (I got mine from the Fresh Market)
  • 1/2 a small onion 
  • 2 small cloves of garlic
  • a few slices of applewood smoked bacon
  • 2 brioche buns
  • BBQ sauce of choice
  • salt
  • pepper
Instructions
  1. Place ground meat in a large bowl. 
  2. In a food processor mince onion and garlic.
  3. Add minced garlic and onion to the ground meat and mix with hands so as to evenly distribute the new additions.
  4. Add about a tablespoon of truffle butter to the mix and use your hands to pound all the ingredients together. 
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste
  6. Form patties with hand and prepare to grill
  7. Grilling time for a medium depends on the thickness of the patty. In this case I did about 7 minutes on each side.
  8. While burger are grilling, cook up the applewood bacon in a pan to a crisp.
  9. Right before finishing up the burgers, place brioche buns on the grill for a minute or two to toast. 
  10. Add cheese to the top of the burgers to allow it to melt
  11. Finally serve patty on the toasted bun, add bacon, BBQ sauce, and any other desire topping.
  12. Serve and enjoy!
*I'm not personally a fan of BBQ bacon cheeseburger so I prepared mine with brie cheese and caramelized onions. It was amazing! So feel free to try any sort of topping combination you feel would work nicely.
