Bacon Goats Cheese Burgers with Honey and Arugula - ground beef

Method

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder and a dash of salt and pepper.
• Mix thoroughly to combine, until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Form mixture into 4 equal-sized (quarter pound) burgers.
• Spray each side of the patties with a nonstick canola oil spray.
• Set aside.
• Heat a large griddle or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.
• Once hot, add burger patties.
• Cook burgers to your liking, flipping them halfway through (56 minutes on each side for medium).
• Remove burgers from pan and set aside to rest for just a couple of minutes.
• Leave stove on, with heat set to medium-low.
• While burgers are resting, take rolls and separate tops from bottoms.
• Place the inside of each roll down onto hot griddle or grill pan and toast until lightly brown.
• I was able to toast 2 whole rolls (4 halves) at a time.
• Set aside.
• Assemble burgers by layering 2 slices of bacon and 1/3 cup of arugula on each roll bottom.
• Place burger patty on top, then top with goat cheese.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey on each burger and then place on roll tops.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
