Ingredients
  • For the Caramelized Onions and Peach Spread
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup peach jam
  • Kosher Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Burgers
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • Kosher Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces blue cheese, sliced, local preferred (Point Reyes)
  • 4 ea hamburger buns
  • 8 slices bacon (cooked)
Instructions
  1. For the Caramelized Onions and Peach Spread: In a thick bottom pot, preheat on medium-high heat. Once the pot lightly smokes, add the butter. It will turn brown right away.
  2. Add the onions, salt and pepper and mix well. Allow the onions to sit and cook without touching for about 4 minutes.
  3. Stir the onions and allow to cook another 4 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Add the peach jam and mix well. Allow it to finish cooking for another minute and turn off the heat.
  5. Allow the spread to cool down before serving with the burgers.
  6. For the Burgers: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt and pepper and form into four patties.
  7. Preheat the Bull grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  8. Place the burgers on the grill and let them cook for 5 minutes.
  9. Turn the patties over and cook for another 3 minutes.
  10. Remove the patties from the grill and carefully add the blue cheese slices onto each patty. This will allow the meat to rest and the cheese to slowly melt.
  11. To serve, place the bacon on top of the melted cheese/grilled burger on bottom half of bun. Top off with caramelized onion and peach spread and enjoy!
