Bacon — 20 burger recipes

meat · 20 recipes

Bacon is in 17 recipes and is usually cooked wrong. Started in a hot pan the fat has no time to render and the strips end up simultaneously burnt and flabby; started cold and brought up slowly, the fat renders out and the meat crisps evenly. That rendered fat is worth keeping — several recipes here cook the onions or toast the buns in it. Thick-cut bacon holds its shape in a stack better than thin, which matters when the burger has to survive being picked up.
