This Steakhouse Burger packs a one-two punch of flavor!  The first thing that hits you is the sweet balsamic glazed onions.  Seriously, I could eat these things all by themselves. 

Then, there’s the tangy bite of the Gorgonzola cheese and the salty crunch from the bacon, which balances out the sweetness from the onions.  And the whole thing has a thick slathering of special steakhouse sauce.

What We Love About This Juicy Hamburger Recipe

There is really nothing like cooking with cast iron.  The flavor that you get from these pans is amazing.  And, this pan gave me beautiful grill marks.  I’ve been a big fan of cast iron for a while now.  I make my Savory Steak Sandwiches and Buttery Rosemary Rolls in cast iron pans.  And, a cast iron pan is, hands down, the best (and only) way to make bacon!  If you’ve never tried it, you MUST! The bacon just melts in your mouth.
