How to Make the Ultimate Bacon Jam Cheeseburger
There are two key elements to making this burger: the bacon jam and the ultimate burger sauce. The bacon jam combines crispy bacon with caramelised onions, sugar and vinegar to create a savoury-sweet relish that adds depth to the burger. The ultimate burger sauce, a blend of mayonnaise, mustard, pickles and a hint of hot sauce, provides a tangy contrast that complements the richness of the bacon jam. Together they create a burger experience that is both indulgent and satisfying.
The Perfect 3-Cheese Blend for an Irresistible Melt on Your Beef Burger Patty
Also known as ‘Tex-Mex’ cheese (used in tacos, nachos and burgers), a blend of white cheddar, red cheddar and mozzarella is used to give the cheese a mouth-watering ooze and colour when melted. Other cheeses can be substituted, such as Monterey Jack or Swiss Appenzeller for a stronger flavour.
