1. This Forever Changed How I Eat Bacon on Burgers

   Bacon on burgers may not be your thing. It wasn't mine for years. I didn't like the texture, ratio, or structure it would give to the burger.

   Then @adventuresofafatguy got inspired by an old episode of @guyfieri on DDD going to @hodads1502 and spotted a clip of them boiling the bacon.

   We didn't know how long to boil it for, or what other steps were involved, so after a couple tests and a chat about our findings, THIS is the recipe we found.

   Recipe:

   2-3 strips of bacon per burger (Depending on how bacony you like it)

   Boil the bacon for about 5-7 minutes. It doesn't take long, but without this step, the patty just doesn't hold together at all.

   Give it a rough chop and then make a pile on a cast iron pan or flattop grill. Make it the same diameter that you want the final patty, but 2-3 times as thick. Then as the bacon shrinks and comes together, it will form a thin smash patty.

   Place a weight or lid on the patty while it cooks for 3-4 minutes, and when it is golden brown on the edges, give it a flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

   These are actually great to make ahead of time and just toss on the burger as people want them. Like little bacon discs. Crispy and delicious.

   Enjoy!

2. I was going to watch this short, but then I heard you say "I used to hate to put bacon on….."

3. I really love your channel! Great guy. Awesome recipes.❤

4. That’s a lot of bacon for one burger. Looks good though . Straight to the arteries 😊

5. I agree with this I don't like bacon on my bur😢

6. I prefer making my burgers patties with very lean ground beef, using pork fat instead, kind of like they do with sausage! I think it’s less likely that you lose all the flavor, rather the entire meal just tastes like that, so there’s less depth.

7. I'm not eating pork tho

8. If you ever hated bacon on burgers, you are not human

9. … Just do a pork patty with less fat..

10. Crazy idea here. If you don't like something in your food, dont eat it. Problem solved!

11. That takes too long. Just use strips

12. Yeah, im sorry. I dont care how good it is. I aint eating no boiled bacon. thats a sin right there😂

13. Screw the beef. Just give me the bacon and cheese

14. Why the heck are your "burgers" thinner than notebook paper?

15. My opinion hasn’t Changed, I still like it

16. I think I like the difference in texture with the bacon strips idc if I get a full piece of bacon in one bite it’s just part of the experience dog 😂 I think a bacon patty sounds kinda gross

17. Just cook the bacon until it’s nearly burnt. It’s saltier, more flavorful, and when you bite into it, you don’t pull out the entire strip.

18. A better way is just cooking bacon completely till the fat renders out. By the time you bite into a burger, the bacon breaks into bits already and it adds texture to the burger

19. This is next level fat boy ascension

20. This is the kind of research the FDA should be funding.

21. I’d like to gently introduce you to the idea of bacon jam. A spreadable bacon jam with deeply caramelized onions that spreads onto anything easily, especially burgers.

22. Said no one ever

23. Who hates bacon on burgers ??😂😂

24. You lost me at “boil the bacon”.

25. Don’t trust this man

26. He said boil the bacon… 😂… Never

27. You lost me at "render the fat"

28. This is horrible

29. no it didnt. handle it never upload again!

30. If they start out with I hate bacon on burgers then you keep scrolling you don't need that kinda negativity in your life
