I have probably mentioned before that I love Hamburgers, all kinds. The thing that bothers me a little bit is that items on your burger tend to slide and move as you bite. Same goes for the Bacon, it’s always gone before the rest of the burger.

So, I came up with the idea of mixing the glazed onion and fried bacon into the burger, and it worked really well…Onion and Bacon with every single bite. Are you as thrilled as I am? It was just what I wanted.

Next time I may make a pocket in the middle of the burger for the cheese, let’s see where this goes…but for now, here’s this Deluxe Burger filled with Onion and Bacon, give it a go at your next Bbq. It’ll be a hit!

Ingredients;

Method;

Put a frying pan over medium heat and add the bacon bits. Fry until crisp and golden. Remove and place on a piece of kitchen paper to drain and cool.
