Sweet ‘n Garlicky Bacon Burgers

20 min

6 servings

Friends, this burger is all about that perfect sweet and savoury combo: crispy, candied bacon; quick, caramelized onions; and a beef patty that’s got a hint of garlicky sweetness. Top it off with your crunchiest, freshest faves such as iceberg lettuce, tangy pickles, crunchy coleslaw, or juicy tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 lbs (675 g) lean ground beef
  • 1 pkg Honey Garlic Meatball Seasoning or Sweet Garlic Chicken Seasoning, divided
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 4 slices low-sodium bacon
  • 6 burger buns

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a bowl, combine beef and 3 tbsp seasoning. Using a fork or your hands, mix until well blended. Form into 6 patties.
  3. Grill, with lid closed, 5–6 min per side, or until cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, peel onion and slice into rounds. Place in Multipurpose Steamer. Add half the remaining seasoning and stir to combine. Cover; microwave on high 5 min.
  5. Place remaining seasoning in a shallow dish. Cut bacon slices in half. Using tongs or your hands, add bacon to dish one piece at a time, rotating and pressing to coat.
  6. Arrange bacon over Multipurpose Tray. Once onions have cooked 5 min, stir and then place tray with bacon overtop. Cover; microwave on high 5–7 min, or until bacon is cooked to your liking. Onions should be soft and caramelized.
  7. Tuck burgers into buns with bacon, onions, and additional toppings, if desired.
