Homemade Five Guys Style Bacon Cheeseburger
A delicious, elevated recreation of the iconic Five Guys bacon cheeseburger. This version features homemade, pillowy sesame buns, freshly ground smash patties, beautifully seared shiitake mushrooms, griddled onions, and perfectly seasoned fresh toppings. Chef's tips: (1) Ensure the milk used for the buns is not hotter than 90°F, or it may kill the yeast. (2) Do not crowd the pan when searing mushrooms, and avoid salting them at the very beginning to prevent them from steaming and releasing too much water. (3) Seasoning the beef patties generously with salt and pepper during the sear is critical for matching the rich flavors of the toppings.
