🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Render the chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy; remove bacon and leave 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
Add sliced onions to the bacon fat and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes until soft and golden, then stir in sugar and vinegar, cooking for 5 more minutes until thickened; stir the bacon back in.
Form the beef into four 1-inch thick patties, making a slight indentation in the center, and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached, then toast buns and top each burger with the onion jam.
