5 Ingredient Bacon Burgers with Cheddar and Red Onion

Ingredients

For the bacon burgers:

• Cooking spray
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
• 6 strips bacon, cooked until crisp in a skillet or microwave and crumbled
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 rounds sliced red onion (about 1/4-inch thick)
• 4 slices sharp Cheddar (about 6 to 8 ounces total)
• 4 Kaiser rolls

For the Parmesan black-eyed peas:

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 (14-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
• 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley leaves

Directions

For the burgers:

Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat to preheat. In a large bowl, combine beef, bacon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and shape mixture into 4 patties, each about 1-inch thick. Place burgers on hot pan and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side, for medium. Arrange onions alongside burgers and grill 1 minute per side, until just golden. Place cheese on burgers and cook 1 minute, until cheese melts. Serve burgers on rolls with onions on top.
