Directions for: the Detention
Ingredients
2 hand-ground 6-oz patties (chuck and brisket blend on the grind)
2 challah buns
4 slices applewood smoked bacon, cooked and cut in half
6 slices aged Cheddar cheese
2 oz tipsy onions (slowly caramelized onions deglazed in Jack Daniels)
oz Bernie's Burger Bus Ketchup
oz Bernie's Burger Bus Mayo
oz Bernie's Burger Bus Mustard
oz Bernie's Burger Bus Pickles
1 oz Romaine lettuce, shredded
2 oz slow-roasted garlic tomatoes (roasted in olive oil, thyme and garlic)
3 - 4 oz butter, melted
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Start of by seasoning both sides of your fresh ground patties with salt and pepper and directly put them on the hot part of the grill, not moving at all for at least 3 minutes to create a crust.
2. Proceed to cut a little bit of the top and bottom of both buns just removing the crust exposing the inside, then cut in half like a normal hamburger bun. Butter all sides of the bread and begin toasting on the medium low side of the grill. Toast for 1-2 minutes and then flip.
3. Place 1 slice of Cheddar on each half (4) and then top the two bottom buns with all the bacon. Take the top buns with the Cheddar on them and place on the bacon-and-Cheddar-covered bottom bun and press together firmly, making delicious bacon grilled cheese.
4. Next by this time you will need to flip the patties and place the tipsy onions on top one of them.
5. once the bacon grilled cheese are toasty and melted place them on a plate and begin to dress them with the condiments. we find for the bottom grilled cheese the mayo, lettuce and tomato and for the top the ketchup, mustard and pickles.
6. Top both patties with Cheddar (covering the tipsy onions) and place a lid on top the patties to melt the cheese (might also add a little water to help melt faster but be careful). Place the patty with the tipsy onions atop the other and set on the bottom bun. Place the top on and, stretch, pray and enjoy!
