Cabin in the Woods Burgers

 So I am pretty lazy tonight so I am going to copy and paste the ingredients and directions. I saw this on facebook this morning and thought, I just found what is for dinner tonight. I know I post a lot from Rachael Ray, but most of her recipes are great and affordable! I also gave my sister a break, she's been sick (I probably gave her whatever I had), so I went over and picked the boys for about 3 hours today and they stayed for dinner. Dakota and Jake loved this burger, but Zach wasn't so into it. He just wanted to eat the tater tots. I sent him home with his leftovers and cupcakes if he ate at least 1/2 of his burger.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound thick-cut bacon or black pepper bacon
  • 1/4 cup dark amber maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 pounds coarsely ground beef chuck
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard
  • Coarse salt and black pepper
  • EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil or vegetable oil, for drizzling
  • 1/2 pound sliced extra-sharp white cheddar, for topping
  • Melted butter, for frying eggs and basting burger rolls
  • 4 organic eggs
  • 4 seed-topped or onion rolls, split
  • Directions
  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Place the bacon on a broiler pan or rack-lined baking sheet and bake until the fat is partially rendered, about 15 minutes. Baste the bacon with maple syrup; bake 5-6 minutes more.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. In a bowl, combine thebeef, Worcestershire and onion (grate the onion over the bowl so the juices fall into the meat). Stir in the mustard; season with salt and lots of pepper. Form into 4 patties (making them thinner at the center and thicker at the edges). Drizzle the patties with oil; cook, flipping once, until a nice crust forms, about 7 minutes. Top with the cheese and cook for about 2 minutes to melt
  • Brush a nonstick skillet over medium heat with some melted butter. Add the eggs and fry to your liking; season.
  • Toast the buns, basting with melted butter. Top the bun bottoms with burgersbacon, eggs and bun top.
  • That is the egg oozing out down the side of the burger. I also added some greens to mine. I also used regular buns due to Jake being allergic to sesame seeds and the boys not liking the onion rolls.
