Step 1

Combine strawberry jam, water, smoked paprika, and garlic powder in a sauce pan.

Step 2

Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stir to combine until smooth. Refrigerate for one hour minimum to thicken.

Step 3

Cut four pieces of thick center-cut bacon in half with scissors and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Put in a cold oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees. Cook for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, check the bacon and see how long you have to go — it should be 2 to 10 minutes depending on the oven to get crispy bacon. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

Toast buns for 3 minutes on a flat top surface set at 4 on the low to 10 stove setting (or 325 degrees).

Step 5

Combine meats in a bowl and create four 4-ounce pucks.

Step 6

Cook two pucks on a preheated stainless steel pan at 6 on the low to 10 stove setting (or 375 degrees) for 30 seconds.

Step 7

Flip and smash down the pucks flat with a heavy device or a spatula with some weight behind it. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Flip and add provolone cheese, then cook for another 30 seconds to a minute until cheese melts.

Step 9

Add a layer of mayonnaise to the bottom bun. Stack two burgers, cheese up, on the bottom bun. Add two pieces of bacon to the top burger, parallel across the burger. Put a dollop of strawberry jam on the top bun and close the lid.

Step 10

Eat, repeat, and enjoy!
