Ingredients

  • 1 lb grass fed ground beef 80/10
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 brioche hamburger buns toasted
  • 4 tbsps hot honey bacon jam recipe linked in post
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sliced tomato

For the chipotle aioli

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 chipotles in adobo
  • 1 tbsp of the adodo sauce from chipotles
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Juice of 1/2 a lime
  • Pinch of salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients for the chipotle aioli into a food processor, and pulse until well combined. If you do not have a food processor, mince the chipotles, and whisk all ingredients together. Chill until ready to use.

  2. Preheat a grill or skillet over med-high heat. Form the ground beef into 4 burger patties. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Cook burgers for about 3-4 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until desired doneness. Cooking times will vary depending on how thin you make your patties, skillet temp, and desired internal temp.

  3. Add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking to melt over patties.

Assembly

  1. Spread chipotle aioli onto the bottom toasted bun. Spread hot honey bacon jam on the top toasted bun. Add lettuce to the bottom bun, then your burger, then tomatoes, and finally the top bun with the bacon jam. Dig in!

Recipe Notes

Chipotle aioli can be made ahead of time, and kept in the fridge for 3-5 days. It makes a great fry dip too!
