Ingredients
Praline Bacon:
1 stick butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
10 pounds hickory smoked bacon
Burger:
One 6-ounce burger patty made from high-quality ground chuck, sea salt and black pepper
1 slice sharp Cheddar
Lettuce
Tomato slices
Pickle slices
Hawaiian-style kaiser bun
Directions
- For the praline bacon: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and vanilla. Stir as the sugar melts and forms a caramel, about 5 minutes. Stir in the pecans.
- Fry up the hickory smoked bacon in a skillet over medium heat. (You will need to do this in batches.) Pour the praline mixture over the bacon and toss like a salad.
- For the burger: Grill the burger patty over medium-high heat until the center is no longer pink.
- Assemble by melting the sharp Cheddar on the burger patty. Top with some praline bacon, lettuce, tomato and pickle, and place on the kaiser bun.
