Prep Time!

Gather all your toppings and ingredients. Get your chopping board, knife, and mixing bowls ready. This is where the magic begins!

2

Classic Mustard Mayo

Mix together 1/4 cup of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Give it a good stir until well combined. This tangy and creamy mayo will add a burst of flavor to your burger.

3

Spicy Jalapeno Relish

Finely chop 2 jalapeno peppers and 1/4 cup of pickled jalapeno slices. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped jalapenos, pickled jalapenos, and 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Stir well and let the spicy goodness marry together.

4

Balsamic Caramelized Onions

Thinly slice 2 onions. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they start to soften. Then, add 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. Continue cooking for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.

5

Smoky BBQ Sauce

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Your homemade smoky BBQ sauce is now ready to amp up your burger!

6

Crispy Bacon Strips

Place a few bacon strips in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the bacon is crispy, flipping occasionally. Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease. Crumble or leave the strips whole as per your preference.

7

Bruschetta Topping

Chop 3 ripe tomatoes, 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves, and 2 cloves of garlic. In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, basil, garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together for a refreshing and tangy bruschetta topping.

The Ultimate Cheese Slice

Grab your favorite cheese slice and melt it right on top of your juicy burger patty during the last minute of grilling. Whether it's classic American cheese or a fancy Gruyere, the cheese will bring a whole new level of melty goodness to your burger.
