Burgers with blue cheese dressing on lettuce wedges

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of bacon
  • 1 head of iceberg lettuce (about 1 kg)
  • 300 g of ground beef
  • 2 tbsp. chunky blue cheese dressing
  • 4-6 thin slices red onion
  • 2 tomato slices

Preparation:

  1. Place the bacon in a medium cast-iron skillet and cook over medium heat, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain some of the fat from the skillet, leaving just enough to coat the bottom.
  2. Cut 4 thick, round slices, each 10-12 cm in diameter, from the top and three sides of the iceberg lettuce head to use as buns, and set aside. Chop and set aside the remaining cube of lettuce for another use.
  3. Form the ground beef into 2 patties, each 10 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick, and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat the skillet over high heat, and once hot, add the patties and cook for 3 minutes on each side until medium-rare.
  4. Place the lettuce buns cut-side up on plates and top with a patty. Top each patty with 1 tablespoon of dressing, a slice of onion, a slice of tomato, and 2 slices of fried bacon. Top with the remaining lettuce.
