🥓🍔 Carnivore Bacon Jam Grilled Cheeseburgers

🔥 Ingredients (Serves 2):

For the Bacon Jam:

  • 6 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped

  • 2 tbsp bacon fat or beef tallow (optional, but makes it richer)

  • Pinch of salt (optional, if your carnivore plan allows it)

For the Burgers:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 is perfect for juicy burgers)

  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or any full-fat cheese you like)

  • More bacon (because… carnivore 😎)

  • Optional: Eggs (for a fried egg on top if you’re feelin’ fancy)

  • Salt (optional)


🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the Carnivore Bacon Jam

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy.

  2. Remove bacon, leave the fat in the pan.

  3. (Optional) Add extra bacon fat or beef tallow to make it richer.

  4. Return bacon to pan, lower heat, and cook together for ~10 more minutes, stirring frequently. You’re rendering it into a sticky, chunky bacon spread. No sugar, no onions — just pure bacon magic.

  5. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Cook the Burgers

  1. Form the beef into 2–4 patties (depending on your size preference).

  2. Salt lightly if using.

  3. Grill or pan-sear the patties over high heat until nicely browned, about 3–4 minutes per side (or however you like it).

  4. Add cheese on top and let it melt.

3. Assemble

  • Bottom patty (or plate)

  • A generous scoop of bacon jam

  • Extra crispy bacon (yes, more!)

  • Optional fried egg

  • Top patty (if going double-stack style)


🥩 Optional Tips:

  • Want it “bun-style”? Use two thinner burger patties as top and bottom “buns”.

  • Add seared bone marrow or a drizzle of beef tallow for extra decadence.

  • Pair with a tall glass of raw milk (if your version of carnivore allows it) or just a nice bone broth.


Boom. A beast-mode burger that’s 100% carnivore, 100% delicious. Want me to give it a fancy name or write it up recipe-card style for printing?
