Baconlicious Burgers

with Crispy Potatoes and a Creamy Herb Wedge Salad

Calling all bacon lovers! These bodacious, bacon-fied burgers were created just for you. All-beef patties are crusted in steak seasoning, seared to juicy perfection, then topped with melty gouda, bacon-fat-caramelized onions, slices of bacon, and a creamy mustard sauce. They’re tucked into buttery brioche buns and served alongside crispy potatoes and crunchy romaine wedges topped with—you guessed it—more bacon, diced tomatoes, and a creamy ranch dressing. This dish is positively bursting with smoky, savory flavors guaranteed to knock any bacon aficionado's socks off.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inchthick wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim root end from romaine, leaving bottom of lettuce intact; quarter lengthwise into wedges. Dice tomato. Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, heat a large, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon; cook, turning occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until crispy, 6-10 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Discard all but a thin layer of bacon fat from pan. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop a few bacon slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings); set the rest aside.

  3. 3

    Heat pan with reserved bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 8-10 minutes. Add ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings) and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4). Cook until caramelized and jammy, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wash out pan.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, combine beef and Steak Spice; season with salt (we used ¾ tsp; use 1½ tsp for 4 servings) and pepper. Form into two patties (four for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook 3-5 minutes on first side. Flip, top with gouda, and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes more.

  5. 5

    While patties cook, in a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise and mustard. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream and half the Ranch Spice (use all for 4 servings); add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Halve and toast buns until golden.

  6. 6

    Fill toasted buns with patties, bacon slices, caramelized onion, and mayomustard sauce; divide between plates. Serve with romaine wedges to the side; top with tomato, chopped bacon, and creamy herb dressing. Serve with potato wedges and remaining sauce for dipping.
