What ingredients make up a Homemade Bacon Backfire Burger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As its name suggests, the obvious ingredient in a Bacon Backfire is of course, Bacon. Beautiful strips of bacon cooked to that perfect consistency of slightly crispy. They are generously added to the Burger and sit atop 2 large pieces of grilled Chicken. Which to us is just the best combination of flavors anyway. Chicken and Bacon and just MADE to go together

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the classic filling combination of Tomatoes, Lettuce and Red Onions. The Red Onions are raw, so you get that beautiful crunch to them. We like to use them sparingly to not overpower the Burger, so a couple of slices works great. For the lettuce, Romaine \/ Cos Lettuce is a great choice. Big and leafy, perfect for a Burger

The combination of ingredients is unique to the Bacon Backfire, making it one of the best Burgers you can eat!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now onto the cool stuff in this burger. Instead of using standard cheese you\u2019d expect in a burger like American, they use Brie! The beautiful Creamy Cheese synonymous with French Cuisine makes its appearance in this burger and it tastes divine. Brie is a somewhat subtle cheese, but its flavor is still pronounced in the Burger. It adds such a luxurious texture to the meal too, pairing perfectly with the Chicken and Bacon

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the sauces \u2013 the classic combination of Garlic Aioli and Tomato Relish. This makes the burger to be honest. A tangy, creamy Aioli with a lovely hit of Garlic and a rich Tomato Relish. They\u2019re beautiful together and complete this amazing Burger. The good news is all these ingredients are super easy to get yourself. So, there\u2019s nothing stopping you from making the ultimate Homemade Bacon Backfire Burger tonight!

For those from the US \u2013 you may find it strange that this dish is called a Burger since it doesn\u2019t contain ground meat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This caused a bit of confusion for us when we first moved to the USA. In Australia and NZ (and many other parts of the world) the word \u2018Burger\u2019 is based on the type of bun that is used and not on the type of meat. If you are using typical burger bun \u2013 that being a round shaped bun, it\u2019ll be called a burger in AU and NZ

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the US it is quite different. Burgers are defined by how the meat is prepared. If the meat is ground, then it is generally referred to as a Burger. If the meat is whole, such as in the instance of the Bacon Backfire, which uses whole Chicken pieces, it would be called a Sandwich

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make things even more confusing, if you\u2019re in AU or NZ and put a whole Steak in a burger, it\u2019s called a Steak Sandwich \u2013 regardless of what type of bun you use! It\u2019s all very confusing we understand. All we can tell you is whatever you want to call it, this Homemade Bacon Backfire Burger tastes amazing

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, don\u2019t get us started on the naming of Chips too!!

What are some good sides to have alongside your Homemade Bacon Backfire Burger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You really can\u2019t go wrong with fries when it comes to a Burger. Burger Fuel have a bunch of options, including their \u2018Spud Fries\u2019 which are delicious. Our suggestion would be to make you very own Animal Style Fries (recipe coming soon) because they are simply the best pairing with burger!
