The Highwayman Burger

This is the thirteenth burger we've made from the Cheese and Burger Society. This is a seriously good burger, and not for the faint-of-heart. Onion rings. Egg. Ham. BBQ sauce. Now, that's good eats!


I made the onion rings from scratch using the recipe at the bottom of this post for the Honky Tonk burger.

Makes: 2 burgers
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: Varies depending on desired doneness
Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh ground beef (recommend 75/25 or 80/20)
• 4 slices cheddar cheese
• 4 slices deli ham
• 2 eggs, fried
• 6-8 onion rings, warmed (see this recipe)
  
• 4 T BBQ sauce
• 2 Hamburger buns

1. Form beef into 2 patties and season. Grill until cooked to your desired doneness. Top patties with cheese. Toast buns and remove. Grill ham for just a moment, long enough to warm and get a few grill marks. Remove.

2. To assemble, slather bottom buns with 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce each. Top with egg, ham, and patties. Add onion rings. Slather top buns with remaining BBQ sauce and dig in!
