Gourmet burgers topped with sweet elephant garlic, hickory-smoked bacon, cheese, and shiitake mushrooms.
Ingredients:
  • 1 large white onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves elephant garlic, chopped
  • 4 ounces white Cheddar cheese
  • 1 ounce Asiago cheese
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef (90%)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 16 slices hickory-smoked bacon
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 8 Kaiser rolls, split
Instructions:
  • Place onion, bell peppers, and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, being careful not to over-process.
  • Saute the onion mixture in a pan over medium heat until it reduces to a moist paste, about 20 minutes. Let it cool once finished.
  • Finely grate Cheddar and Asiago cheeses into a bowl using the finest side of a box grater.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the onion mixture and salt, mixing thoroughly by hand. Gradually add the grated cheese mixture, ensuring it is well blended. Mix in the panko until evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into 8 balls and then flatten into patties, using a hamburger maker if available. Wrap the patties in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  • Take the burgers out of the fridge. Preheat the outdoor grill to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the bacon until evenly browned, turning occasionally for about 10 minutes. Place the cooked bacon slices on paper towels to drain.
  • Leave just 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet, then add the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until soft, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Grill burgers until fully cooked, approximately 6 minutes per side, reaching an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Top each burger with 2 slices of bacon and 1 slice of American cheese during the final minutes of grilling.
  • Transfer the grilled burgers onto Kaiser rolls and top with mushrooms.
