Step 1

Choose the right bacon: Thick-cut bacon works best when making bacon jam.

Step 2

Make the bacon jam ahead of time: The bacon jam can be made up to 3 days in advance. Keep it refrigerated until you're ready to use it.

Step 3

Grill the burgers: Grill the burgers over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through.

Step 4

Toast the buns: Place buns on grill for a few minutes or until toasted.

Step 5

Assemble the burgers: To assemble the burgers, spread some bacon jam on each bun, and top with a burger patty, cheese, more bacon jam and any other desired toppings.
