Bacon-Avocado Burger with Chipotle Mayonnaise
By Marge Perry & David Bonom
We like to think of this as the Big Daddy of burgers: it’s got everything to love on a burger all in one bite.
- Cuisine: American
- Course: Dinner
INGREDIENTS
- 80% lean ground beef
- adobo sauce
- aged white cheddar cheese
- bacon
- beefsteak tomato
- chili powder
- chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- For the Burgers:
- For the Chipotle Mayonnaise:
- fresh lime juice
- Garlic Powder
- ground black pepper
- ground cumin
- Hass avocado
- Mayonnaise
- onion rolls
- Red onion
- Salt
- Smoked Paprika
DIRECTIONS
- Combine the mayonnaise, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, lime juice, and paprika in a small bowl
- Cook the bacon and set aside.
- Make the burgers: combine the beef, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Gently mix to combine, taking care that you do not overwork the beef. Form the mixture into four patties about 1/2 inch thick and press your thumb down in the center of each burger to form a depression. (This helps the burgers cook more evenly).
- Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat until hot. Add the patties and cook 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over and top each with a slice of cheese
- Place roll bottoms onto each of 4 plates. Top each with a tomato slice, patty, onion slice, 4 slices avocado, and 1 bacon slice. Spread the cut side of the top half of each roll with the mayonnaise and set atop the burger and serve.
