Ingredients

🥩 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
🧄 1 tablespoon Kinder's black garlic seasoning
🌶️ 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
🌿 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧂 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
🥓 4 slices hickory smoked bacon
🥐 2 large croissants
🧀 4 slices of your favorite cheese
🍔 Your favorite burger sauce (to taste)
🌿 Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions

Instructions

1- Prep the Patties:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with black garlic seasoning, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and flaky sea salt. Mix until the seasoning is well incorporated throughout the beef.
Allow the mixture to marinate for about 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.

2- Form the Patties:

Divide the seasoned beef into six 3-ounce balls. Gently press each ball into a patty shape, being careful not to overwork the meat.

3- Cook the Bacon:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Add the hickory smoked bacon slices and cook for about 8 minutes or until crispy. Alternatively, you can fry them in a skillet.

4- Prepare the Croissants:

Slice each croissant in half horizontally. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the croissant halves until golden brown.

5- Cook the Patties:

In the same skillet, add the beef patties. Cook over medium-high heat, smashing them down lightly with a spatula.
Once the patties are browned on one side, flip them over and immediately place a slice of cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

6- Assemble the Burger:

Spread your favorite burger sauce on the bottom halves of the toasted croissants.
Layer with a cheesy beef patty, a slice of crispy bacon, and any additional toppings of your choice.
Place another cheesy patty followed by more bacon and finish with the top half of the croissant.

7- Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the Croissant Double Cheeseburger immediately while still hot for the best flavor and texture experience.
