Barbecue Bacon Burger Sides

A large portion of chips is the most classic side for a burger, but it doesn’t have to be the only option.

For a healthier side, I suggest serving your Italian balsamic barbecue bacon burger with a serving of rucola. You can also add chopped onions, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan flakes.

Don’t worry, it won’t be boring if you season it well with salt and pepper and dress it with a generous amount of Belmorso extra virgin olive oil. For added taste, you can also drizzle this Gold Balsamic to tie in with the balsamic flavours of your burger.

Do you cook burger or bacon first?

If you want your bacon to be warm and crispy when you bite into it, cook the burgers first and then 5 minutes before they are done, you can crisp up your bacon into a pan or the oven. Then quickly assemble your burger and enjoy while everything is still warm and delicious.
