Description

A delicious creamy sauce made with cream cheese and chives, paired with juicy bacon and beef burgers to elevate your burger experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 8 strips thick-cut bacon
  • 4 brioche burger buns
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 4 large butter lettuce leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with minced garlic and chopped chives until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Divide ground beef into 4 equal portions and gently form into patties slightly larger than your buns, creating a small indentation in the center.
  4. Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or until desired temperature is reached.
  5. Slice brioche buns in half and brush cut sides with melted butter. Toast in a dry pan until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Spread herbed cream cheese generously on both halves of each toasted bun. Layer bottom bun with lettuce, burger patty, 2 strips of bacon, and top bun.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.
  • For a spicier kick, add some jalapeños to the burger.
  • This sauce can also be used as a dip for fries or vegetables.
