Ingredients
For the bacon burgers:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
6 strips bacon, cooked until crisp in a skillet or microwave and crumbled
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 rounds sliced red onion (about 1/4-inch thick)
4 slices sharp Cheddar (about 6 to 8 ounces total)
4 Kaiser rolls
For the Parmesan black-eyed peas:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 (14-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
Directions
- For the burgers: Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. In a large bowl, combine beef, bacon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and shape mixture into 4 patties, each about 1-inch thick. Place burgers on hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, for medium. Arrange onions alongside burgers and grill 1 minute per side, until just golden. Place cheese on burgers and cook 1 minute, until cheese melts. Serve burgers on rolls with onions on top.
- For the black-eyed peas: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peas and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown. Add salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to coat. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan and parsley. Serve alongside burgers.
