Bacon Bourbon Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon in small skillet over med heat, stirring occasionally, until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer bacon to aper towels to drain grease, reserve 1tsp of the bacon drippings from pan.
• Put reserved bacon and drippings in small bowl, along with butter, bourbon, maple wyrup, and sugar.
• Season with salt.
• Using a fork, vigorously whisk until well combined.
• Transfer butter mixture to a sheet of parchment paper, wax paper, or plastic wrap, placing on edge closest to you.
• Fold paper over and roll into a cylinder, twisting the ends; wrap airtight in foil.
• Chill until solid. Butter will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add shallot and garlic and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Whisk in bourbon until combined, then cook until reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the stove and cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
• Combine remaining 3 sticks plus 5 tablespoons butter, parsley, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Add cooled bourbon-butter mixture and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Season with salt.
• Transfer butter to a sheet of waxed paper and roll into a log. Refrigerate until fully chilled, 2 to 3 hours. Use as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix ground beef, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, steak seasoning, and garlic salt in a bowl; divide and shape into 2 patties.
• Cook on the preheated grill for about 5 minutes; turn, top each burger with bacon and Cheddar cheese, and continue cooking until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes more for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve on split buns topped with tomato and lettuce.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and darker in color, 4-6 minutes per side.

• Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 5 days.
• Enjoy!
