Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:30 minutes

Ingredients

Bacon Jam

  • 12 oz thick-cut bacon applewood smoked, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Burgers

  • 4 Schweid & Sons Signature Blend burger patties or 1 lb ground beef shaped into 4 patties
  • 4 oz brie cheese sliced
  • 1 –2 handfuls baby arugula
  • 4 brioche buns

Instructions

  • Make the Bacon Jam: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and drain excess grease, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pan. Add the butter, brown sugar, smoked paprika, pepper, and honey. Stir, then pour in the beef broth. Bring to a simmer and add the cooked bacon back in. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy, 10–15 minutes.
  • Cook the Burgers: Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the Schweid & Sons patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. During the last minute, top each patty with slices of brie and let it melt (I like to add a splash of water, then cover the pan and the cheese will be super melty!)
  • Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the brioche buns in a skillet or under the broiler until golden.
  • Assemble the Burgers: Add a handful of baby arugula to the bottom bun, place the brie-topped patty on top, and spoon a generous amount of bacon jam over the burger. Close with the top bun.
  • Serve: Plate the burgers with a side of crispy truffle parmesan fries and enjoy immediately.
