Dishin’ With Debbie-Whiskey Bacon Burger
What better way to celebrate Dad than with some of his favorite things? This juicy burger combines whiskey, bacon, cheese, and beef. What’s not to love?
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
4 slices of your favorite bacon, cooked and crumbled ( I used a maple bourbon bacon to drive the flavor home)
1/4 cup whiskey
1 T reduced sodium soy sauce
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup shredded cheddar
1/8-1/4 cup grated sweet onion
1 T seasoned bread crumbs
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. dried basil
1//4 tsp. pepper
buns and your favorite toppings
Directions:
Combine everything except the beef in a large bowl. Add beef and gently fold together until thoroughly combined. Form into 4 equal patties. Grill burgers 3-5 minutes to desired doneness. Remove from grill, top with cheese, if desired. I cover with a dome to melt the cheese. Toast buns, if desired. Serve with all your favorite toppings, and celebrate Dad and everyone else in your life!
