Bacon works remarkably well with anything. The best food enhancer.

I bet a touch of honey would have made that heaven and... some bacon.

Not with everything...Try putting bacon with poutine

or milkshake

I've never been a huge fan of bacon for some reason - I only like it in breakfast.

Alright hold the milkshake but I can definitely envision a bacon poutine. I can also envision the trip to the can though. 15 minutes minimum and 2 rolls of TP.

I'm OK with this BUT:

Make your own burger using Prime Beef, none of that crap in the food stores, but use a real butcher.

Grill on an infrared grill that gets superhot.

Use mesquite or hickory to smoke the burger\\

Anyone do crumbled blue cheese on top???

if you're using prime beef you don't want to add a whole lot of "juice" like sauces or ketchup--only dilutes the beef flavor.

I'm totally with Germania on the grilled jalapenos. Adds a little "zip" to life.

Now my older son lives in Maine and he and his wife hunt moose in season. His stuff is made with moose meat, grilled on a large Green Egg grill and he too smokes it with hickory or mesquite.

Try the smoke. Takes time, but what the hell??? That's what "grillin' and chillin'" is all about. that and a shaker of martinis or margueritas

I have a pair I really like.

I'm not really a meat connoisseur, but it goes like this:

Decent slab of buger
Decent buns
Few slices of thin-sliced ham
Slice or two of swiss

I don't really dig on ketchup or mustard on my burgers 'cause I find it makes the buns too soggy too quick for my liking..

Ketchup, Mustard, Salt, Pepper, Pickles, NO CHEESE!

 

[krmathis]

Something like this:
* bread
* dressing
* salad
* tomato
* onions
* burger meat

 

[nor_spoon]

The meat matters!

 

[nickyboyo]

A burger just ain't a burger unless it has a slice of beetroot on top

 

[guyx1992]

onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato, bbq sauce, ketchup, mayo, Thousand Island dressing, garlic sauce

NO bacon/cheese

For the record, I hate bacon, I hate all kind of pork... It's a good thing they don't sell pork around here

 

[Covenant]

A hash brown, with a thin slice of cheese melted onto it, then an egg with fried onion, chilli and salt mixed through it, topped with a thin slice of tomato, a dash of tomato sauce, and a touch of hot english mustard.

Not a burger at all, but delicious

 

[darkninja67]

My favorite when I worked at Fudds was a 1/2 pounder with bacon, mushrooms and cheese with some mayo on the bun.

A triple cheese is also good with American, pepper jack and cheddar.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

I like this thread, since this a decision I constantly face

Swiss cheese
Bacon
Sauteed mushrooms
Fried onions
Pickles
A single thin slice of tomato
Ketchup / A-1 sauce
Hellmann's Mayo
Toasted Bun

The better the burger, the fewer toppings I use -- the ultimate burger for me would be wagyu on a toasted SF sourdough roll with nothing else.

If I'm getting a cheap burger (e.g., In N' Out), I slather on the ketchup and mustard and tomatoes and lettuce, etc.
