Garlic bacon avocado burgers are a delicious and hearty meal perfect for summer cookouts or a cozy dinner at home. Combining the savory flavors of crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and garlic-infused beef patties, this recipe is sure to become a favorite. With just a handful of ingredients, you can easily create these mouthwatering burgers that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.
Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble or break into halves.
- Finely mince the garlic cloves.
- In the same skillet the bacon was cooked in, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and then add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic over medium heat until it becomes fragrant and golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, sautéed garlic, salt, and white pepper. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Divide the seasoned ground beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the beef patties into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the patties reach your desired level of doneness. (You can also grill the patties if you prefer.)
- While the patties are cooking, cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and slice each half into thin slices.
- Once the beef patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- To assemble, place a beef patty on the bottom half of a bun (optional), top with slices of avocado, and then add the crispy bacon pieces. You can also add your favorite burger bun and other toppings like lettuce, tomato, or cheese if desired.
- Serve the burgers immediately while they are hot. Pair with your favorite side dishes like fries, salad, or coleslaw.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef with an 80/20% meat-to-fat ratio for juicy and flavorful burgers.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a nice crunch to the burgers.
- Mash the avocados with a bit of lime juice, salt, and pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
- Don't overmix the ground beef mixture; overworking it can result in dense burgers.
- Let the garlic infuse in the olive oil before mixing it with the beef to maximize flavor.
- Toast the burger buns for added texture and flavor.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a slice of your favorite cheese to the patties during the final minutes of cooking.
These garlic bacon avocado burgers offer a delightful mix of textures and flavors, from the smoky bacon to the creamy avocado and garlicky beef patties.
