A thick, juicy beef burger topped with crispy streaky bacon, melted vintage cheddar, buttery red onions, and punchy English mustard. Inspired by a traditional British pub burger, this simple combination is all about bold, classic flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 thick beef burger patties
- 4 slices streaky bacon
- 2 thick slices vintage cheddar cheese
- 1 small red onion, thickly sliced
- 2 burger buns
- 2 tbsp butter
- English mustard, to taste
- Cooking oil, for the griddle
Directions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
- Place the bacon on the griddle and cook until browned and crisp. Move it to a cooler area of the griddle to keep warm.
- Lightly oil the griddle, then add the burger patties. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side, or until a deep, golden-brown crust develops.
- Flip the burgers and continue cooking on the second side.
- Melt the butter on another section of the griddle. Add the sliced red onion and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, while still retaining a little bite.
- Top each burger with a thick slice of vintage cheddar. Cover with a melting dome or cloche and cook until the cheese is melted and the burgers reach your preferred doneness.
- Place the burger buns cut-side down on the griddle and toast until lightly golden.
- Spread a generous amount of English mustard over the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Place a cheeseburger patty on each bottom bun, then top with the buttery red onions and crispy bacon.
- Add the top buns and serve immediately.
