Bacon Barbecue Hamburger Recipe With Mushrooms
Bacon and mushrooms pack out this barbecue hamburger recipe and together with a good dose of mushroom ketchup, really give it a new flavor dimension.
Not only that the texture of the burger is enhanced by the addition of crispy bacon. I've failed so far to find anyone who doesn't like this recipe and that includes my daughter who doesn't really like mushrooms!
Not my best effort at forming patties was it?
The bacon and mushrooms are going to fried up separately before being added to the burger mix. We want the bacon to be crispy and in order to ensure that that it is, we need to fry up the ingredients separately.
Mushrooms contain a lot of water that will come out when they enter the frying pan, if the bacon is in there at the same time then the bacon will boil in the water rather than fry until crisp.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon until crispy. Place the bacon into a large mixing bowl and now fry the mushrooms until soft, when cooked add the knob of butter and fry for a further 2 or 3 minutes - when the butter enters the hot pan it will melt and caremelize very quickly adding a nutty flavor to the mushroooms.
Now throw the mushrooms into the bacon bits add the cream, mushroom ketchup, ground beef, seasoning and get your hands in there and mulch away.
You probably know the barbecue hamburger recipe drill from here on. Form into patties and grill for 10 minutes on each side and Bob's your uncle. Flip at half time, there's no need to be continually flipping and don't press down on them while cooking otherwise you'll just lose all the juiciness.
