Instructions
In a large bowl mix together the meat, bacon, and caramelized onion along with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Form into four patties.
Heat your BBQ or grill to medium-hot, add the burgers and cook until browned on one side, flip and brown the other side. When almost cooked; place a slice of cheese on top and allow to melt.
Meanwhile, lightly coat the bun with olive oil. Place on the grill, cut side down, and allow to heat. The bun should remain soft, and be lightly browned.
Place the burger on the bun, spread 1 tablespoon of the aioli on the top half of the bun, place a mound of arugula or spinach on the burger, top with bun and serve.
Prepare the Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli: In a food processor, pulse the sun-dried tomatoes with the garlic until finely chopped, then puree until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Parmesan and balsamic, pulse until blended. Taste and adjust for salt as needed.
