The Gourmet Secret

Try stirring chopped fresh herbs such as basil, chives or rosemary into the mayonnaise for a little extra flavor.

Directions

step 1

Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook 18 minutes or until onion is golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally. Cover to keep warm.

step 2

In separate large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 12 minutes or until crisp, turning occasionally; transfer to paper towel-lined plate to cool. Cut crosswise in half.

step 3

In large bowl, gently mix ground chuck, salt and pepper until well blended; do not overmix. Form mixture into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.

step 4

Place patties on hot grill rack; cover and cook 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°, turning once. During last 2 minutes of cooking, top burgers with bacon and cheese, and place buns, cut side down, on hot grill rack; cover and cook 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and buns are toasted.

step 5

Spread bottom halves of buns with mayonnaise; top with spring mix, burgers, marmalade, caramelized onions and top buns. Makes 4 burgers.
