These are the most AWESOMEST burgers ever!!!!!
Don't be scared of the weird combination of flavors. The Bourbon Bacon Jam itself is something you will be looking to put on everything! There are quite a few steps for this burger. Make the Pimento Cheese and the Jam the day before to make your life easier. For the Burgers: 1 lb of ground beef 1 lb of bison Salt and pepper to taste For the Pimento Cheese: 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature ½ cup mayonnaise 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese ¼ tsp. garlic powder ¼ tsp. onion powder 1 (4 oz.) jar pimentos, drained Salt and pepper to taste For the Bourbon Bacon Jam: 1 pound smoked bacon. 1 large sweet onion (such as Walla Walla or Maui) 2 TBSP minced garlic ¼ cup apple cider vinegar ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup bourbon Salt and pepper to taste 1 cup Crunchy natural peanut butter Hamburger buns of your choice Instructions: Hand miix the beef and bison together lightly with salt and pepper and form your patties. Set aside. For the Pimento Cheese: Place the Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and pimento into the large bowl of a stand mixer. Using paddle attachment beat the mixture on medium speed until thoroughly combined. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. If making the cheese mix the day before, bring it our of the refrigerator to let it soften before placing it on the burger. For the Bourbon Bacon Jam: Cut bacon into 1 inch pieces. Cook the bacon in a large saucepan and cook down until the bacon is crisp and fat is rendered. Remove bacon and set aside on a paper towel to remove some of the oil. Discard all but 1 TBSP bacon fat. Add the onions back into the saucepan and cook until they are tender and become translucent in color. About 10-12 minutes. Add the bacon back along with the remaining ingredients and reduce to a low simmer. Let the ingredients cook down until they form a jam like consistency, this will take about an hour or so. To assemble the Burgers: Spread some peanut butter on the bottom bun. Place a burger on top of the peanut butter. While warm, add about 2 TBSP of Pimento cheese to the hot burger so that it will melt a little. Add bacon jam to the top of the Pimento cheese. Top with the top bun and get to MACKIN!!!!!
