Our son Brian is one of the best bacon fryers in the world! His bacon is crispy without being brittle so that it doesn’t explode into shards when you take a bite. He inherited this talent from his father who is the other bacon frying master. Brian’s advice to bacon frying neophytes is to take your time, keep the fire moderate, have an organized plan for the bacon when it is cooked and always remember that the bacon is the star, everything else is side issue 🙂
Bacon, Blue Cheese and Veal Burgers
8-12 pieces of fried bacon
1 lb ground veal
Salt and pepper
Vegetable oil spray
4 slices of blue cheese
4 Buns, 8 bread slices, whatever you need. Toasted or “au naturel”
Mayonnaise
Lettuce
Tomatoes, sliced
Form the veal into 4 patties, season with salt and pepper, coat a frying pan with the spray and fry the patties on one side, turn, add the cheese on the cooked side and continue to fry until the meat is done and the cheese has softened/melted.
Spread some mayonnaise on both inside pieces of your buns/bread, then layer them with the veal, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes.
Brian the Best Bacon Broiler (is that the right word?!). Yum 🙂
Nope. He fried the bacon in a skillet 🙂
Damn – couldn’t find a B word for that!
😀
This is making me hungry. Looking forward to your next post! 🙂
I could use another one about now 🙂
I have the veal, the bacon, the blue cheese, but NO Brian??? What to do Rose?
Better send for him 😀
Truly the best kind of burger…bacon and blue cheese, especially when the bacon is perfect.
The bacon is so important bits. I’ve had bacon cheeseburgers where you wonder if they forgot to put the bacon in. None of that guessing with Brian!
With those skills he’s welcome out here anytime!”
Pack in the beer and wine 🙂
Done deal!!
Oh so yum, with spring here and summer coming along, we’ve all got grilling and burgers on our mind:)
Still winter here Peri 🙂
Spring is on its way:)
Yes. Very nice day today.
Hungry now, thinking of a BLT. Blast Brian’s Beautiful Broiled Bacon Burger (even though he fried it).
Clever bloggers 🙂
Not a fan of blue cheese, but I love veal! I guess I’ll just have to try it to be sure.

Try a good quality blue cheese (expensive).
I guess I’ll have to splurge!

I tried it, it turned out Brians Beautifully Burnt Bacon Burger….. Only kidding Bacon n blue cheese especially Roquefort go perfectly together, Kids of course had to have salad cream instead of mayo. Burgers like these are our favourite camper van meals, when touring France, buy whatever meat looks nice in the local shops…..
I like the roquefort, especially the Papillon in the red package 🙂
