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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
