Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil
1 pound bacon, chopped
1 pound onion, diced
2 tablespoon chopped oregano
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
4 cup apple cider vinegar
vegetable oil, for coating the grill
12 ounce ground sirloin
2 ounce favorite melting cheese, such as mcclure
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
1 egg (optional)
1 hamburger bun

Directions

Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot over high heat. Once it starts to smoke, add the bacon and onion, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring to prevent burning, about 20 minutes. Add the oregano and honey and cook for 5 more minutes.
Add the Worchestershire and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until thick for about 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and let cool. The marmalade can be stored in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Preheat the grill over medium-high heat and coat with oil.
Make two 6-ounce patties and put the cheese in the middle and seal together. Grill the burger to the desired doneness (medium-rare is when the cheese starts to melt inside). Top with 1/3 cup of the bacon marmalade.
If desired, make a sunny-side up egg. Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, break the egg into the pan and cook until the whites are set. Remove from the heat and top the burger with the egg. Serve on a hamburger bun.
