directions

Bacon Jam

  1. In a skillet, fry the bacon until golden and crispy. Then, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
  2. For 5 minutes, sauté the garlic and onions in the same oil used to fry the bacon.
  3. Add the ground ginger and paprika, cooking for 1 minute. Then, add the remaining ingredients (except for the bacon) and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the bacon back in and simmer on low heat until the liquid thickens into a syrup.
  5. Pour the mixture into a food processor and blend until the desired consistency is achieved.

Burger

  1. Cook the VPJ Black Angus Burger in a skillet, grill, or barbecue to your ideal doneness over high heat. Add the cheese 2 minutes before taking it off the heat and let it rest for at least 2 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the bacon over high heat until crispy.
  3. Open the brioche buns and quickly toast them with butter.
  4. Place the burger on the bottom half of the bun.
  5. Pour the bacon jam over the burger, add the crispy bacon, and top with the other half of the bun.
  6. Serve immediately.
