Jamaican Jack Burger





Jamaican Jack cheese is the perfect addition to burgers And pairs well with a cold Red Strip, this recipe really reflects what Jamaica is to us, a land full of flavor.  This recipe may be a learning experience for some depending on your interpretation. The original recipe is based heavily on making things from scratch from the patty to the burger bun.  Hope you have fun making this burger regardless of the route you take, a store bought bun or making things from scratch.

Jamaican Jack Burger 

Jamaican Jack Burger uses Jamaican Jack (duh)

Store Bought:
Prep Time : 20 min l Cook Time : 10 min l Total Time : 30 min

Made from scratch: 
Prep Time : 45 min l Cook Time : 10 min l Total Time : 55 min


Ingredients


Ground beef (Try to get with a decent amount of fat marbling)
1 Burger Bun
60 grams Jamaican Jack 
2 strips of Bacon
knob of melted butter (optional)
2 tbsp cooking oil of your choice (we went with olive oil)
1 small onion (sliced)
Pickles 
Tomato 
Lettuce 
Mayo 
Mustard
Ketchup
Salt and Pepper



Directions 

1.  First things first the most important rules with burgers is to prep before any cooking. So begin preparing your tomatoes, lettuce , onions (slicing washing and dicing)  and also creating your secret sauce (which is simple 1 part Mayo 1 part ketchup and 1 parts Mustard) once your sauce is made cover it and store in the fridge.

2.  After you Mise en place is complete (A French way of saying prep before cooking) we are going to turn our attention  to the our ground beef and bacon . Using a Frying pan (preferable a cast iron skillet) set it on the stove at medium low heat. As the pan is heating form  a beef patty by shaping the ground beef (ensuring to be gentle and to not over work the meat). set patties aside (the amount of meat should give you too patties) and place your strips of bacon in the now hot pan.

3.  While the bacon is cooking set a small pan on medium high with  1 tbps of oil  add diced onions allowing them to fry remove onions once crisp and placed to drain on a napkin . By this point your bacon should be cooked remove it from pan and setting it aside to drain.

4.  Reduce heat on pan adding the additional 1tbsp of oil the burger will be cooked in the mixture of bacon fat and Olive oil (we never said it was low fat lol). Once the oil is hot salt and pepper your patties as if salting a steak place the seasoned side down in the pot and let it cook for 2 minutes then flipping it and adding the slices of Jamaican Jack at this point you can brush your patty with abit of melted butter(dnt jump back this is optional). while the burger is cooking for an additional 2 minutes place you burger bun in the pan to toast  remove once toasted(this adds texture).

5. Once your patty is cooked (you should get a medium finish) and cheese is melted remove patty and build your burger and enjoy.  

*Tip : To get cheese to melt evenly add a splash of water and cover your pan while the patty is a minute away from being done.
