Ozzy's Country Bumkin Burger
Starting with the burger:
2lbs ground chuck
1lb ground round
1 egg
Salt
Pepper
Garlic poweder
Mixed all the ingredients thoroughly, formed the patties and put them into the fridge for about 1/2 hr while I got everything else ready.
I used apple wood smoked bacon, with a bunch of jalapeno powder sprinkled on it. I then fried the country ham in the bacon fat and put both the bacon and ham into the warming drawer.
I mixed a maple mustard to put onto the burger made of 1/2 cup dijon mustard and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup.
Once that was all done I seared the burgers in the pan with the bacon grease, then put them out on the grill. Once, they were close to being done I put the sharp cheddar cheese on the burgers, and buttered the buns and placed them on the grill as well.
After pulling everything off of the grill, I began to fry the egg, once again in the bacon fat. While the egg was frying I started to plate the burger.
Bottom of the bun, country ham, with a spoonful of the maple mustard. Then the burger, the jalapeno powdered bacon, some red jalapenos I had canned, and another spoonful of the maple mustard. Finally, topped off with the over easy fried egg.
Delicious and incredibly juicy!
