umami blt cheeseburger
“Embark on a savory journey with our Umami BLT Cheeseburger. Immerse yourself in the rich symphony of flavors, where umami, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and creamy cheese unite for burger perfection.”
Um, is anyone else counting down?
Not the seconds, but more like the nano seconds. Why is nano the only word I remember from high school chemistry class?
Hmmmm….I’m going to go with the fact that my teacher was a major jerk face and pushed the metric system on us hard core like gave us a quiz every 15 seconds. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but still. I’m all like WE USE FEET INSTEAD OF METERS in the US you wackadoo!
Now that my blood is officially boiling with chemistry range, let’s talk real talk with things that matter. Like the premier of Game of Thrones. Mr. B and I had at least a 47 minute conversation over a game of chess (you can feel our nerdiness can’t you?) about how many characters they are going to 86 this season. We are bracing for the death of Daenerys. I know, I know, someone has to say it. We haven’t had a good, rip your heart out scene since the red wedding. Which by the way, I am still healing from.
Sighhhhhh. So, as Mr. B and I brace for the season premiere we will be diving head first into this Umami BLT cheeseburger. What else would keep us from looking at the clock every nano second then a perfectly balanced, juicy burger? I love the simplicity of this burger, it’s old school with a splash of new.
Because that is what I need, balance to survive the next 3, 298, 483 seconds until it’s game on.
Wait.
Game of Thrones on.
Umami BLT Cheeseburger
Ingredients:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
dash of Tabasco
4 slices bacon, cooked
4 pieces butter lettuce leafs
4 tomato slices
4 brioche hamburger buns
4 slices cheddar cheese
Red onions, garnish
Mayonnaise, garnish
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, fish sauce, garli, Tabasco, and s&p. Form four medium size hamburger patties. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the burgers on the grill for about 5 minutes on the first side, flip, cook for additional two minutes. The last remaining minute add the cheese slices to allow for it to melt on the patties. Remove from heat and let the patties rest before serving. Garnish with bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and mayo. Enjoy!

Have I told you lately that I love you?
I heart you too, lady!
I think I’ll faint if anything happens to Daenerys.
I’m opting for some strange death for Little Finger. That guy just freaks me out!
But seriously, these burgers! Oh my word! That cheese. That bacon. Urgh! Want want want – NOW!
Right?!! My mind is freaking out. If she dies, the show may be over! Sigh. Let’s eat burgers to get by!
Yep, definitely going to need more than one bite (also, can I just say I love that you play chess? We have a set in our living room that mostly just looks pretty, but now I feel fully empowered to bust it out!)
Um, we just recently started doing it! It’s a great way to talk and catch up after a long day. I highly recommend dusting it off:) Now, I’ll take that BLT now!
Yes, I am soooo counting down!! This is going to be E to the P-I-CCCCCC!!! As is this Burger!!
Holy cow girl, these look so good! I love love love the idea of adding fish sauce to the patties for more umami!
Pun fully intended? I HEART YOU.
I am all about the umami – crushing on these burgers hard.
MWAH! Thanks, lady!
OK so basically I’m behind the times and need to start watching this show. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime.
I can tell that I’m out of the first trimester fog because these burgers are CALLING MY NAME. LOUD. A burger hasn’t sounded so good in weeks!
GAH!! I can’t tell you how excited I am for Paul and you!!! I’ll send you burgers ASAP!! xoxo
I’ve read all the books (so I know what’s *supposed* to happen), but I’m still SO excited for the show to come back. It’s going to be so good!!
The suspense is killing me!!! Now, let’s eat some burgers to keep us distracted:)
OHMYGAH if they kill off Daenerys I will lose my you know what. I love her and I need her on the show forever and ever. I also need these burgers in my belly now and forever and ever.
I know!!! She is a rockstar. I mean you can’t kill the mother of dragons, can you? GAH! Let’s eat burgers to keep us distracted!
I can’t wait for Game of Thrones.. it premieres here in Australia on Monday! Definitely need to make something as indulgent and delicious like these unami blt cheeseburgers to celebrate.. they look AWESOME.
WHAT?!! Gah. So jelly…well, 1) that you live in Australia, but 2) you get to see the premiere early! You definitely need burgers to celebrate!
Is it shameful that I’ve never seen an episode of Games of Thrones? : /
Not all! Just gives me a reason to recruit another watcher:)
I’m not sure if this is a safe place to admit this, but I haven’t seen a single episode of Game of Thrones. That needs to change, huh?
This cheeseburger? I’m kind of craving it for breakfast!
Yes, yes, yes and yes. That’s all I can think to say on these. Just awesome and I need one NOW!
Girl you know I can never resist a juicy burger. This looks amazing!! Pinned!
