Chipotle burger with bacon and caramelized onion

Ingredients:
  • lean ground beef
  • double smoked bacon x 1 slice
  • red onion x 1/4 cup
  • tomato x 1-2 slices
  • cilantro x 1/2 cup
  • goat cheese
  • burger bun
  • mayonnaise
  • greens
  • salt, black pepper, chipotle pepper, olive oil
Caramelize the onion in some olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper and chipotle pepper. Set aside. In the same pan fry the bacon (don't add more oil). Put the bacon on a paper towel, once it's crispy. Mix ground beef with salt, black pepper, chipotle and some cilantro. You have to get dirty! Mix it with your hands until it combines well. Make 3/4 inch patties and let them rest until they're in room temperature. Drain the excess fat from the pan and fry the burger on the same pan on medium heat, 3-4 minutes on each side. Don't move it around and flip it once. In the last minute put some goat cheese on top of the burger. Let the burger rest for a few minutes. Toast the bun lightly. As for the condiments, I mixed some chopped cilantro, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Assemble the toppings, place the top half of the bun and press! Then eat and enjoy ...
