Ingredients
🥩 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
🧄 1 tablespoon Kinder's black garlic seasoning
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
🌿 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧂 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
🥓 4 slices hickory smoked bacon
🥐 2 large croissants
🧀 4 slices of your favorite cheese
🍔 Your favorite burger sauce (to taste)
🌿 Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions
Instructions
1- Prep the Patties:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with black garlic seasoning, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and flaky sea salt. Mix until the seasoning is well incorporated throughout the beef.
- Allow the mixture to marinate for about 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.
2- Form the Patties:
- Divide the seasoned beef into six 3-ounce balls. Gently press each ball into a patty shape, being careful not to overwork the meat.
3- Cook the Bacon:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Add the hickory smoked bacon slices and cook for about 8 minutes or until crispy. Alternatively, you can fry them in a skillet.
4- Prepare the Croissants:
- Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the croissant halves until golden brown.
5- Cook the Patties:
- In the same skillet, add the beef patties. Cook over medium-high heat, smashing them down lightly with a spatula.
- Once the patties are browned on one side, flip them over and immediately place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.
6- Assemble the Burger:
- Spread your favorite burger sauce on the bottom halves of the toasted croissants.
- Layer with a cheesy beef patty, a slice of crispy bacon, and any additional toppings of your choice.
- Place another cheesy patty followed by more bacon and finish with the top half of the croissant.
7- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Croissant Double Cheeseburger immediately while still hot for the best flavor and texture experience.
