Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare all of the ingredients together for an easy assemble.
  • Place minced meat into a bigger ball, where you can mix everything else later on. Cut 10 to 12 slices of bacon strips into small pieces. 
  • Heat your skillet to medium-high heat and caramelize the onion. Cut it into small squares as the first step.
  • Once you caramelize the onion halfway, add bacon pieces and freshly cut garlic.
  • Cook the bacon with garlic on a skillet over medium heat until the bacon is fully cooked. Once all onions, chopped bacon, and garlic are fully cooked, let them cool and add into a big bowl with bacon grease where you have already placed your ground beef.
  • Add all the spices from the recipes, such as marjoram, oregano, curcuma, salt, and pepper. 
  • Using a wooden spatula, thoroughly mix the meat mixture with bacon, onions, garlic, and all the herbs.
  • Once thoroughly mixed, use your hands to shape the mixture into 6 equal burgers.
  • Depending on where you’re planning to grill, heat the grill or oven and place the burgers on a grill grate for grilling. Grill burger buns for approximately 10 minutes, cook time, and turn the sites. Cook the patties for another 10 minutes internal temperature on your thermometer reaches 155°F, and you are done.
  • Once all the burgers are grilled, it is time for you to decorate. Use whatever vegetables you would like to add, some salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, cheese, basil pesto as I have used in our case, and whatever additional you desire.

Notes

  • Juicy Burgers – adding more bacon makes those bunless burgers perfectly juicy. You can certainly add much more, as I suggest. You can also use ground chuck for a lean meat to fat ratio. 
  • Spice up – adding a bit of jalapeño or cayenne pepper or a few drops of Tabasco will add to those burgers' spiciness.
  • Onion – Caramelizing the onion helps those burgers hold together perfectly and adds some sweetness to them. 
  • Herbs – You can add some fresh herbs if you have those in your garden or any additional seasonings you like to use.
  • Meat - Use ham for a juicy hamburger patty.
