Cheeseburgers are about as all American as you can get but I decided to give this one a bit of a French twist by adding cognac, dijon mustard, shallots and a good amount of butter!
Cognac Bacon And Cheeseburgers
Ingredients
- 1 lb. 80/20 ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped shallots
- 1/3 cup cognac
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- About 6–8 strips of bacon {thick cut}
- 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese {or any cheese of your choice, blue cheese would work well for this recipe but i was all out}
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl break up your ground beef and mix in all the ingredients {except the bacon and cheese}. Divide the meat up in 4-6 equal portions and form patties. Once your grill is pre-heated place your bacon on the top rack and brush a little bit of vegetable oil on the area where you are going to grill your burgers. Grill your burgers to the desired temperature once your bacon is done add a few pieces to each pattie and sprinkle on your cheese. Serve on buns and add your favorite toppings.

I like sliders, they don’t make you feel guilty for eating 3 or 6 of them in one sitting because they are so small. Like the French twist, Michelle.
Love this idea! Pinned.
