minutesI make these BLT burgers for brunch once a month. Sometimes, I replace bacon weave with normal burger buns as I’m not a low-carb eater.
Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. bacon slices, halved
butterhead lettuce, for serving
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 c. mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp. finely chopped chives
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400º F and place a baking rack inside of a baking sheet (to help catch grease).
- To make bacon weave: On the baking rack, line 3 bacon halves side-by-side. Lift one end of the middle bacon slice and place a fourth bacon half on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Lay the middle slice back down.
- Next, lift the two side strips of bacon and place a 5th bacon half on top of the middle piece and underneath the sides. Lay the side slices back down.
- Finally, lift the other end of the middle slice and place a 6th slice on top of the side pieces and underneath the middle slice. Repeat to make a second weave.
- Season with pepper and bake until bacon is crispy, 25 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- To make burgers: Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat. Form ground beef into large patties and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Grill until cooked to your liking, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
- To make herb mayo: Add together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chives to a small bowl, whisk to combine.
- To assemble: place a bacon weave on the bottom, spread with some herb mayo, top with burger, lettuce, tomato and remaining bacon weave.
- Serve immediately.
