Step 1

Start by trimming 2 large beets, wrap them in foil and roast in a 350℉ oven for 1 hour or until they are easily pierced with a knife. While the beets are cooking soak 1 ounce of dried chanterelle mushrooms (covered) in boiling water. Set beets aside to cool. Leave the mushrooms soaking until you’re ready to use them

Step 2

Form four patties from the ground beef and generously salt both sides. Using the pan that you used to make your Bacon Jam and the reserved grease, cook the patties over medium high heat until they reach desired temperature. Now grill your bread.

Step 3

Depending on the size of your bread, you may want to cut each slice in half to fit the burger. Trim your bread and necessary so that you have 8 burger sized pieces. Grill them (on one side only) in the same pan until lightly browned.

Step 4

Place grilled side of bread up and portion bacon jam on four pieces of bread. Add dill pickle slices (I slice my own from whole dill pickles because I like very thin slices on my burger), enough to make one layer across jam. Now add your patties and two slices of hard boiled egg. Top with a generous scoop of Borscht Sauce and the last 4 pieces of grilled bread. Keep the grilled side facing the burger – it will help keep the bread from disintegrating.

Step 5

Mushroom-Bacon Jam

Step 6

8 ounces bacon chopped into ½ inch pieces

Step 7

1 onion sliced

Step 8

½ ounce dried chanterelle mushrooms

Step 9

1 Tablespoon cider vinegar

Step 10

Brown the bacon pieces over medium high heat until fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Cook the onions in the bacon grease over low heat for about 5 minutes. Drain the mushrooms from the hot water and chop. Add the mushrooms to the onions. Continue to cook until the onions are very soft. Drain and reserve bacon grease. Add bacon back into pan then add the vinegar. Turn the heat up and cook until vinegar reduces into syrup (this happens quickly, so stay close and stir constantly). This can be made ahead and just heated up before serving.

Step 11

Pulse the beets in a food processor then combine with all other . Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
