This Bacon Brie Burger with Merlot Onions on the Grill is a gourmet twist on the classic burger, featuring juicy beef patties topped with crispy bacon, creamy Brie cheese, and sweet and tangy Merlot wine caramelized onions, all grilled to perfection.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 hamburger buns
• 8 slices bacon
• 4 oz Brie cheese, sliced
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Merlot wine
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat grill to medium-high heat

Form ground beef into 4 patties and season with salt and pepper

Place patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness

While the patties are cooking, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy

Drain on paper towels and set aside

In the same skillet, add olive oil and onions

Cook over medium heat until onions are caramelized, about 15 minutes

Deglaze the skillet with Merlot wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan

Cook until wine has reduced and onions are coated, about 5 minutes

Toast hamburger buns on the grill until lightly golden

To assemble the burgers, place a patty on the bottom half of each bun

Top with bacon, Brie cheese slices, and a generous spoonful of Merlot onions
