Ingredients
- 1 Ā½ pounds ground beef 80/20 chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Ā½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 Cobblestone Bread Co.ā¢ Corn Dusted Kaiser Rolls
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed or canola oil

Sundried Tomato Bacon Jam Ingredients
- 10 sundried tomatoes
- 10 ounces bacon, cut into 1ā sections
- 2 yellow onions, peeled and sliced
- Ā½ cup water
- ā cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Ā½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Divide the ground meat into four round patties and place in the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking. When ready to grill, preheat the Big Green Egg to 500Ā°F/260Ā°C. Season burgers equally with salt and pepper, place on the EGG and close the dome. Cook for 4 minutes, flip, and cook for another 4 minutes with dome closed or until the internal temperature reaches 145-150Ā°F (63-66Ā°C) for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
While the burgers are resting, brush oil on burger buns and grill for 1 minute until the buns are lightly toasted. To assemble, place a burger patty on the bottom bun and top with goat cheese, then 2 tomato slices, and arugula. Spread a spoonful of bacon jam on the top bun and place on top of the arugula. Serve immediately.

When youāre ready, form patties gently and be careful not to over work the meat as it just getās tough and gummy if you handle it too much. Once the burgers hit the grill, the fat will sizzle down into the coals causing the ultimate flame-kissed burger.
