Ultimate Bacon Burger

 Looking for a way to impress your favorite burger lover?  This recipe never disappoints.  

10 oz ground beef

2 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp sour cream

1 Tomato, sliced

2 Burger buns

2 Tbsp cream cheese

1/4 cup baby spinach

3 slices of bacon fried and crumbled

Coarsely chop the spinach

Cut the tomato into 1/4" slices

Combine ground beef and a pinch of salt and pepper.  Form into two equally sized patties (about 5 - 6" round)

In a mixing bowl, combine half the spinach, cream cheese, bacon, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper, Mix well and set aside.  

Add 1 tsp of olive oil to a non-stick pan over medium heat.  Add the buns to the pan, cut side down and toast 1 - 2 minutes until brown.  Transfer buns to plates.

Add hamburger patties to hot pan and cook until browned and they reach an temp of 160 degrees.  ( I do 4 minutes per side and then turn a second time and let sit with no heat for another 4 minutes)

Top your bottom buns with spinach and tomato slices.  

Add your hamburgers.

Top with the cream cheese sauce and top bun.  Allow a couple of minutes for the sauce to melt over your hot burgers.  

I like this dish served with Garlic Pepper Fries.  It's definitely different from your ordinary burger and fries!
