In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup over low heat. Bring it to a gentle simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly. You can adjust the consistency by simmering it for a bit longer, depending on how thick you want the glaze. Stir occasionally to avoid burning the syrup.
Once the burgers are cooked and the bacon is crispy, assemble the burgers. Place a burger patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun, top with 2 slices of crispy bacon, and drizzle a generous amount of the maple glaze over the bacon and beef. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, or onions, to complete the burger.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Maple Glazed Bacon Cheeseburgers with a side of crispy fries, onion rings, or a light salad. These burgers also pair wonderfully with a cold drink, such as iced tea or a craft beer, to balance the rich flavors.
Make-Ahead & Storage
You can prepare the beef patties ahead of time by shaping them and storing them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before cooking. The maple glaze can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat the glaze in a saucepan before serving.
