Bacon Goat’s Cheese Burgers with Honey and Arugula

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, onion powder, garlic powder and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine, until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Form mixture into 4 equal-sized (quarter pound) burgers. Spray each side of the patties with a nonstick canola oil spray. Set aside.

Heat a large griddle or grill pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once hot, add burger patties. Cook burgers to your liking, flipping them halfway through (5–6 minutes on each side for medium). Remove burgers from pan and set aside to rest for just a couple of minutes. Leave stove on, with heat set to medium-low.

While burgers are resting, take rolls and separate tops from bottoms. Place the inside of each roll down onto hot griddle or grill pan and toast until lightly brown. I was able to toast 2 whole rolls (4 halves) at a time. Set aside.

Assemble burgers by layering 2 slices of bacon and 1/3 cup of arugula on each roll bottom. Place burger patty on top, then top with goat cheese. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey on each burger and then place on roll tops.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
